My favorite Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich is loaded with hummus and feta cheese, fresh vegetables and topped with sprouts. You won’t miss the meat with this sandwich.

Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich

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 is one of my favorite, easy vegetarian lunch options that I make.

Today’s Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich is inspired by one of my favorite sandwiches that I get at 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.

Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich

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.

This 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

But here is the part I actually love just as much as the taste and the fact that it is made with quality ingredients.  Dave’s Killer Bread gives ex-prisoners a second chance by giving them a job. It is built on the foundation of seeing the good in everyone, and understanding the power of second chances. It started when Glenn Dahl, one of Dave’s Killer Bread’s founders, gave a second chance to his younger brother Dave after he served 15 years in prison. Glenn invited Dave back to the family bakery with one stipulation – he had to bring his best recipe ever. Blues Bread was born, and after a wildly successful debut at the local Farmers Market in Portland, OR, Dave’s recipe turned into the best-selling organic bread brand in the U.S.: Dave’s Killer Bread. Today, one in three of their employee Partners has a criminal background, and they are committed to creating a culture that enhances life after incarceration.

  2. 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.

  5. 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.

  11. It sounds a little weird, but my favorite sandwich is a grilled peanut butter, cheese and spinach sandwich.

  15. 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 :)

  18. 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?
    Reply

    • 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.

  28. 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!

    • 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!
