Healthy Sandwich Recipe

Sandwiches are getting a bad rap right now over how unhealthy most of them are, full of sodium and saturated fat. Can you provide an example of a healthy sandwich that you like?

Absolutely! A healthy sandwich can be a delicious and nutritious meal option when made with the right ingredients. Here is an example of a healthy sandwich that I like:

Grilled Veggie Sandwich:

2 slices of whole-grain bread
1/4 cup hummus
1/2 cup grilled vegetables (such as zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant)
1/4 avocado, sliced
1-2 slices of tomato
1-2 leaves of lettuce
Directions:

Toast the bread until lightly crispy.
Spread hummus on one slice of bread.
Layer grilled vegetables, avocado slices, tomato slices, and lettuce on top of the hummus.
Top with the other slice of bread.
Cut the sandwich in half and serve.
This sandwich is packed with flavor and nutrition. Whole-grain bread provides fiber and complex carbohydrates, while hummus provides protein and healthy fats. Grilled vegetables add vitamins and minerals, and avocado provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The tomato and lettuce provide additional nutrients and texture. Plus, this sandwich is low in sodium and saturated fat compared to many other sandwich options.

Of course, you can customize this sandwich to your liking by adding or subtracting ingredients as desired. The key is to focus on nutrient-dense ingredients and choose whole-grain bread instead of white bread or other refined grains.
