Description

Beat the heat with the Ultimate After-The-Pool Sandwich, a refreshing meal packed with vibrant flavors, ideal for enjoying after a day in the sun.

Ingredients

Units Scale

Whole Grain Bread

  • 2 slices

Hummus

  • 1/4 cup

Avocado

  • 1, mashed

Tomato Slices

  • 1 medium tomato, sliced

Spinach

  • 1 cup, fresh

Grilled Chicken (or Tofu)

  • 4 oz chicken breast (or 4 oz tofu)

Feta Cheese

  • 1/4 cup, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all of your fresh ingredients and prepare them for assembly. Slice the tomatoes, mash the avocado, and grill the chicken (or tofu) if you haven’t already done so. This quick prep will make the sandwich assembly a breeze.
  2. Toast the Bread: Lightly toast your whole grain bread slices until golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch and prevents the bread from becoming soggy once you add the fillings.
  3. Spread the Hummus: Generously spread hummus on one side of each slice of toasted bread. This will be the creamy base that brings all the flavors together brilliantly.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: On one slice of bread, layer the spinach, sliced avocado, grilled chicken (or tofu), tomato slices, and crumbled feta cheese. Make each layer count for a balance of flavors and textures.
  5. Top and Serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down, to create a delicious sandwich. Press gently down to meld the layers together. Cut in half, and it’s ready for enjoying!

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh produce makes a massive difference in flavor and texture, so aim for the best quality.
  • Experiment with Spreads: While hummus is delicious, try pesto or a yogurt-based spread for a different taste!
  • Don’t Rush: Take your time assembling the sandwich to ensure every bite is packed with flavor.
  • Adjust to Preference: Tailor the portion sizes of each ingredient to suit your personal tastes when layering.
  • Make It Ahead: Prepping the ingredients in advance can save you time on busy pool days.
