Hummus is one of those delicious things in life that you can do so much with. Dip carrot sticks in it, put it on a burger, eat it with a spoon, or use it as the main ingredient in a sandwich. It adds such a creamy texture to a sandwich, with plenty of healthy fats. Add lots of veg and this is the Ultimate Hummus Sandwich.

Posting a recipe for a sandwich kind of feels like posting a recipe for toast. It is pretty self explanatory - you make a sandwich by putting all the filling in between two pieces of bread. But, I think sometimes we can all get in a bit of a sandwich rut and run out of ideas of what to use as filling.
When we have a pot of hummus that needs using up (that isn't usually an issue), we make an epic hummus sandwich. Stacked up high and bursting with vegetables. It's a real pick-me-up and nice and quick to make too.
The great thing about hummus, apart from how good it tastes, is that there are so many different flavours out there. Keep it plain, or get adventurous. If you are short on time, use a good quality store bought hummus, or you could make your own. Have you tried our Roasted Carrot Hummus or Cottage Cheese Hummus?

Vegan Sandwich
Hummus is the ultimate vegan sandwich filling. I mean, who just wants a lettuce sandwich? You could make this even more filling by adding some falafel to it, and still keeping it vegan.
Other Filling to Add
Actually, what would make this sandwich even more of the ultimate hummus sandwich would be to add some avocado. Doesn't avocado make everything better? But I had run out. Which almost NEVER happens.
That just means that I have to make this again very soon. Maybe some sun-dried tomatoes too. So many options.

This sandwich looks so good - I can see why it's called the 'ultimate' hummus sandwich! I'm always using hummus as a dip, but haven't really ever put it on a sandwich, so I'm going to have to try it now :) YUM!
Laura ~ RYG says
I know so little about hummus, I usually just buy it from the store! Time to make my own. So interesting that you are putting fruit on sandwiches, now that is a new one for me!!!!
Nadia's Healthy Kitchen says
Sourdough is one of the few types of bread I eat. It's the best! I like that you added strawberries, wonder what it's like with hummus. Must try! :)
Jennifer @ Show Me the Yummy says
Gah! I've been craving a really good sandwich like this. Looks incredible :)
Ashley says
Hummus is a huge staple at our house! And I am always looking for new sandwich ideas - I definitely get stuck in ruts with them! This looks fantastic!
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
If I eat a sandwich, it's usually tuna salad OR a veggie/hummus loaded sandwich. This is a great idea. Love that you used sourdough!
cheri says
HI Dannii, definitely my kind of sandwich, love that you added strawberries.
Jessica says
Lots of colours going on here. It's really interesting that you add strawberries to the sandwich.
Kezia @ Super Naturally Healthy says
It has got to be bacon, brie and some sort of onion chutney - so good! Now I just have it without the bread!! :)
Joanne says
Whenever I don't know what to put on a sandwich, I whip up a container of hummus and it solves all of life's problems. Love this!
Mary says
That's a fresh, crispy, tasty looking sandwich
