A good hummus salad sandwich is a lifesaver when you want a quick on-the-go meal. This za’atar-seasoned hummus gets an extra boost of flavor from ground cumin, cayenne pepper, and (optional) Cajun seasoning, and is mixed with crunchy cabbage, celery, and red bell pepper. Smaller appetites may be satisfied with one sandwich, but if you’re hungry, two sandwiches pack a hearty 27 grams of plant-based protein!
Tips
Gluten-free version: To make this gluten-free, use store-bought vegan gluten-free whole grain bread or make your own gluten-free bread. Since gluten-free bread can be denser, consider serving these as open-faced sandwiches for optimal texture and flavor.
Got leftovers? Store the hummus and veggie mix in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge and enjoy throughout the week.
