Description

The Cucumber Avocado Sandwich is a refreshing, nutrient-rich meal that’s light yet satisfying. Thanks to the creamy avocado, hydrating cucumber, and fibre-rich whole-grain bread. Hummus also boosts the sandwich, providing plant-based protein and healthy fats. This sandwich is a balanced combination of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and a moderate amount of protein, making it ideal for a light lunch or snack.

Nutritional Benefits:

  • Hummus: A good source of plant-based protein and fibre, containing heart-healthy fats from olive oil and sesame (tahini).
  • Avocado: Rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fibre, and potassium, which helps in maintaining healthy blood pressure.
  • Cucumber: Low in calories, hydrating, and a good source of vitamins K and C.
  • Whole Grain Bread: High in dietary fibre, which supports digestion and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. It also provides B vitamins. 
Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp hummus
  • 1 tbsp zaatar seasoning
  • 1/2 medium sliced cucumber (pat with a paper towel to remove excess water)
  • 1/2 medium avocado (sliced)
  • 1 handful coriander
  • 2 slices whole grain bread
Method
  1. Slice it up:
    • Slice the avocado and cucumber thinly and set aside
  2. Start layering:
    • Lay out 2 slices of bread (toasted optional) and spread a thin layer of hummus on one side of the slice.
    • Arrange a layer of cucumber and then avocado slices.
    • Top with a few leaves of coriander and season with Za'atar spices.
    • Close the sandwiches with the other slice of bread.
