The Veggie Mandoline Sandwich: A Vegan Hiker’s Dream

Thanks for sharing!

One of the easiest sammiches in the world: The Veggie Mandoline Sandwich- is a personal favorite in the Lamb House. While we are trying to switch to a vegan/plant-based diet, we’ve also found that meats and cheeses don’t stay good all day in a backpack. We make this at least once a week as a snack as a quick and healthy hiking snack!

 Ingredients: 

• Sourdough Bread (My personal favorite but any bread of your choosing is fine)
• Avocado (you only need half an avocado per sammich )
• Cucumber
• Red Bell Pepper
• Red Onion 
• Jalapeno
• Spinach
• Feta Cheese Crumbles (I use this sparingly because I personally have lactose intolerance issues- but it adds an awesome tang to the sandwich)
• Hummus (any flavor will do- personally we love Roasted Red Pepper)

** Once you get all of these ingredients – they can be stored in airtight containers in your refrigerator to be used again for another sandwich (making this a budget-friendly vegan option as well!)

Instructions

1. Lay two pieces of bread out and liberally add a layer of hummus to both sides. 
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper (to taste) on both sides directly on the hummus
3. Layer feta cheese (to taste) on one side of the bread only. (If you’re making this sandwich vegan – skip this step!)
4. Set your mandoline to desired thickness (knobs on the side give you the desired thickness per slice) and cut
   • 10 slices of cucumber
   • 10 slices of jalapeno (I add more because I like spicy food) 
   • 6 slices of red bell pepper
   • Then add to your sandwich in layers ( on the same side as the feta cheese if you added it)
5. Before using the mandoline on your red onion- cut it in quarters. It’s a lot easier to manage. Then add a thin layer of red onion to your sandwich. 
6. Next use the avocado slicer (or a butter knife) to quickly half and slice half of an avocado + add an avocado layer to the sandwich.
7. Grab about 15 leaves ( a small handful ) of spinach and add this top layer to your sandwich. 
8. Finish the sandwich by adding the other slice of bread (hummus down) on to your sandwich. 

** While you’re in your kitchen with a knife at your disposal- I suggest you go ahead and cut it in half- It’s a lot easier to manage a half of a sandwich than a whole.
