Author’s Notes

I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Enjoyed Veggies More!

WOW. I don’t know if I’ve ever loved veggies more. This sandwich is easily my new favorite way to load up on veggies and clean out the fridge at the same time. I seriously can’t get over how good it is!

It’s packed with all kinds of veggies, but I kept it to the ones I almost always have on hand. There’s usually spinach or greens, carrots, cucumbers, and tomatoes in my fridge, plus canned or marinated & cooked beets (It is satisfying to these!). And if you know me, you know I always have avocados. I don’t think a day goes by that I don’t eat one, haha.

Grab a good whole-grain bread you love, toast it, and mash up some avocado for the base. Toss the veggies with dressing and pile everything high. Then dig in! You’ll actually start craving veggies. I’m not even kidding. I can’t get enough of this veggie sandwich!

All the ingredients in this recipe prepped out for straightforward assembly including the carrots, garlic powder, bread, beets, avocado, cucumber, spinach, tomatoes, and dressing.

Veggie Sandwich Ingredients

Ingredient	Let’s Chat About It
Bread & mayo	Use a sturdy bread you love and toast it well so it holds up. Spread a thin layer of mayo on both sides to add flavor and help block moisture.
Avocado	A ripe avocado makes all the difference. Add a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of salt, pepper, & garlic powder for the best flavor.
Carrots & dressing	Grate carrots finely so they soften fast. It is satisfying to using this julienne peeler (the same from my carrot salad!)
Cucumbers, tomatoes & beets	Slice thin for straightforward layering on your veggie sandwich. Pat tomatoes and beets dry so your veggie sandwich doesn’t get soggy too fast.
Spinach or greens	Toss with the rest of the dressing right before adding so the greens stay fresh but still get some nice flavor.

How To Make This Veggie Sandwich

Make dressing: Shake everything together in a small jar until smooth.
Prep carrots: Toss with half the dressing and let sit a minute to soften.
Mash avocado: Mash until smooth (just like we do in this BBQ chicken sandwich)!
Layer sandwich: Spread avocado then add cucumbers, tomatoes, beets, and carrots.
Add greens: Toss greens with remaining dressing and pile on top.
Finish & serve: Add top bread, press gently, slice, and enjoy right away.

What To Serve With Your Veggie Sandwich

Chips or pita chips: For some nice salty crunch!
Fresh fruit: Berries, grapes, or apple slices are always a nice side.
Simple soup: Tomato soup or a veggie soup pairs evenly.
Pasta salad: Great if you want something more filling on the side.
Sweet potato fries: Bake or air fry. Or try my roasted sweet potatoes!

Storage

This veggie sandwich is best eaten right away. It doesn’t store well and gets soggy fast. If you want to prep ahead, keep all the components separate and assemble just before eating.
