Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and healthy sandwich featuring toasted bagels, creamy hummus, crisp cucumber slices, peppery sprouts, and fresh veggies for a satisfying lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bagel (everything or plain, fresh or store-bought)
  • 3 tablespoons hummus (roasted garlic or lemon-flavored preferred)
  • ½ medium cucumber, thinly sliced (English cucumber ideal)
  • A small handful of alfalfa or clover sprouts, rinsed and drained
  • Optional: thinly sliced red onion
  • Optional: 2-3 slices ripe but firm tomato
  • A small handful of fresh greens (baby spinach or arugula)
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the bagel in half horizontally.
  2. Toast the bagel halves in a toaster or skillet until golden and crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. While toasting, thinly slice half a cucumber, 2-3 tomato slices, and a few rings of red onion if using.
  4. Rinse and drain sprouts and fresh greens thoroughly, then pat dry with a paper towel.
  5. Spread about 3 tablespoons (45g) of hummus evenly on both toasted bagel halves.
  6. On the bottom half, layer cucumber slices in a single layer, followed by tomato slices, sprouts, onions, and fresh greens.
  7. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the veggies and season lightly with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  8. Place the top half of the bagel over the veggies, press gently to hold everything together.
  9. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overload the sandwich with too many veggies to avoid sogginess. Pat sprouts and greens dry to keep sandwich fresh. Use high-quality hummus and fresh veggies for best flavor. Can substitute gluten-free bagels for gluten-free diet. Best eaten immediately or within 4 hours refrigerated.
