Vibrant Beet Hummus Veggie Sandwich

Written by Dietitian & Mom: Elis Halenko

Fresh, flavorful, and packed with plant-based power—this is not your average sandwich.

If you’re looking to level up your lunch game, let this Beet Hummus Veggie Sandwich be your new go-to. It’s colorful, craveable, and layered with textures: creamy avocado, crunchy cucumbers, hearty sprouts, and that bright, earthy beet hummus that pulls it all together.

As a dietitian, food stylist, and busy mom, I love when meals check all the boxes: quick to prep, full of fiber and healthy fats, and absolutely delicious. This sandwich does just that—and looks gorgeous on the plate (or in a lunchbox!).

Ingredients (Makes 2 sandwiches)

4 slices whole grain, sourdough or sprouted bread, toasted if desired
1/2 cup beet hummus (store-bought or homemade – see below)
1 ripe avocado, sliced or smashed
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup sprouts (alfalfa, broccoli, radish, etc.)
Optional: handful of spinach or arugula, sprinkle of hemp seeds, drizzle of lemon juice

Quick Homemade Beet Hummus

Blend the following until smooth:

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 small roasted beet, peeled and chopped
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 small clove garlic
2–3 tbsp olive oil
Salt, to taste
Water as needed to thin

Instructions:

1. Prep Your Ingredients

Wash and slice the cucumber, pit and slice the avocado, and rinse your sprouts.

2. Toast the Bread (optional)

Lightly toast the bread for extra texture and structure—especially if packing this for lunch.

3. Assemble the Sandwich

Spread beet hummus generously on both sides of the bread. Layer one side with avocado, cucumber slices, and a handful of sprouts. Add spinach or arugula if using.

4. Finish & Slice

Top with the second slice of bread, press gently, and slice in half. Serve immediately or wrap for lunch later!

Dietitian Notes

This sandwich delivers:

Monounsaturated fats from avocado for heart health and satiety
Fiber from veggies + whole grain bread = longer-lasting energy
A rainbow of plant-based nutrients and antioxidants
Perfect for blood sugar balance when paired with protein (add a boiled egg, smoked tofu, or roasted chickpeas on the side!)

Meal Prep & Storage Tips

Assemble just before eating to keep sprouts and bread fresh
For packed lunches, layer cucumber between avocado and sprouts to prevent sogginess
Beet hummus can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days

Double the sandwich and serve as open-faced toast for a pretty weekend brunch moment.
