Vegan Avocado and Hummus Sandwich
A simple vegan hummus and avocado sandwich. This sandwich is less of a detailed recipe and more of an idea for a quick and easy lunch that's packed with fiber, healthy fats, and some plant-based protein. You can make this sandwich your own by using any vegetables and fillings you enjoy.

Notes
For the best results, make sure to add crunchy vegetables in this sandwich to add texture. Otherwise, the sandwich will be soft and much less enjoyable. Cucumbers, pickled veggies (I love adding pickled onions), and/or crunchy lettuce all work well in this sandwich. You can then add other vegetables and fillings for flavor.
Feel free to use different flavors of hummus to your liking.
I like to add vegan cheese in this sandwich for more flavor and texture. I generally use cheese slices for this, like the ones from Daiya or Violife. Skip this if you don't enjoy vegan cheese.
This may not be for everyone, but I like to add thin slices of smoked tofu sometimes for a little more protein. You could also use vegan deli meat for more protein if you would like. Another option for a little more protein is to mash white beans into the avocado.
