My favorite Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich is loaded with hummus and feta cheese, fresh vegetables and topped with sprouts. You won’t miss the meat in this vegetarian sandwich recipe.
Do you have days during the week that you go meatless? Maybe it is Meatless Monday? Or you decided that for three of the seven days out of the week you want to go meatless? Recently Mike and I decided that as much as possible, my family will try to go meatless three days a week.
Today’s Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich recipe is one of my favorite, easy vegetarian lunch options.
This Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich is inspired by one of my favorite sandwiches from Panera. This sandwich is nothing fancy and really simple to put together. You can use whatever vegetables you have on hand, either make your own hummus or buy your favorite, change up the cheese, add olives, or maybe avocado. Customize until your heart is content.
I am a hummus and feta cheese lover and I think their pair great on sandwiches. These match up really well with the fresh, crunchy vegetables. My favorite part of the sandwich is actually the bread and the alfalfa sprouts. These two things take sandwiches to the next level for me.
Lets start with the alfalfa sprouts. I love sprouts on sandwiches, on top of a bagel with cream cheese or in soup. Those little guys are small, but powerful. Because they are so small, the sprouts contain a concentrated amount of certain vitamins and minerals such as calcium, vitamin K and vitamin C. Alfalfa sprouts contain just 8 calories and 0 grams of fat per cup {source}. So you can really bulk up a sandwich with them and give it that extra texture and you will feel like your sandwich has more to offer you.
Next lets talk about the bread. For me, bread makes or breaks a sandwich. Am I right? Or am I right? Today’s Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich uses Dave’s Killer Bread Good Seed Thin Sliced Bread . Have you heard of Dave’s Killer Bread before? Somehow I missed the bandwagon on this one but I have since been converted.
The bread is packed with protein, fiber, whole grains and no artificial anything, USDA organic, Non-GMO Project Verified. It tastes great and has a good texture. It is soft, but not too soft. Oh, and those seeds! <3
I would love to hear your feedback. What did you like? Did you change anything? Did the recipe turn out to your liking? Suggestions and comments are always welcome.

My fave has to be a grilled cheese on rye, with tomatoes & mushrooms. The more cheese the better, but I am not picky, it can be any cheese except for Swiss.

Jean says
This looks delicious! My favorite Dave’s Killer is the 21 Grain. I use it for all kinds of grilled cheese – best is layers of fresh tomatoes, asiago cheese and sliced avocado.

Hi, Julia. I am totally with you on loving these Mediterranean ingredients. They are my go-tos. Nice history behind this brand of bread. And, thanks for reminding me that I don’t eat enough alfalfa sprouts. i have made a note to add it to my shopping list 🙂
Michelle @ A Dish of Daily Life says
That sandwich looks AMAZING! I wish I was having that for lunch today! Veggie sandwiches are so good!
Heather | girlichef says
Loaded veggie sandwiches like this are absolutely my favorite! I usually load mine onto a bagel, but that bread looks pretty darn amazing.
Lydia @Suitcase Foodist says
Does this ever look amazing! I forget that feta can be a sandwich ingredient! Also addicted to Dave’s Killer Bread – glad to know that I’m not alone.
Do you find that the hummus makes it soggy if it sits for awhile? Say for instance if I were to pack this for lunch?
Julia says
I don’t find that it gets soggy but to be safe you could leave it off until you are ready to eat it and add it on at lunch. You could just put the hummus on one side of the sandwich so the ingredients stay on the other side.

Julie | Small Green Kitchen says
I have been trying to go meat free on most days of the week! I have cut out beef and pork (none in over a month) and I have reduced the amount of chicken I eat. However, I don’t know if I could ever give up seafood. But with that being said, I certainly don’t have to eat it every day or even every week. I love all of the veggies and flavors in your mediterranean veggie sandwich, Julia. This is a sandwich that I will definitely add to the rotation!
PS, I’ve gotta find some of the Dave’s Killer Bread. Sounds like my kind of bread! I’m forever reading bread labels in the store and Dave’s sounds like a brand I wouldn’t have to be weary about purchasing!
Julia says
That is great that you have gone a month! Good for you. I try my hardest but my problem is that my husband likes his occasional steak and pork, so I end up making it for him and then eating it myself. Luckily we don’t do that all of the time and have been doing a few vegetarian meals each week. If you can find Dave’s Killer Bread you should buy it! We love it here!
