This is my favorite vegan sandwich! The banana peppers, the crunch, the carrot hummus…mmm. Since I rarely have fresh dill, I like to make it with Cajun seasoning.
Nice recipe, i often make hummus, carrot one may become my fave
What is the nutrition content per sandwhich?
Though a hard-core carnivore, I loved the sandwich. I use sprouted grain bread, add cayenne to the hummus, and load the sandwich with arugula, sprouts, and watercress. Then a little mustard. Fantastic!
So stinkin’ good. So stinkin’ quick. So stinkin’ easy. Love it.
Than you for this refreshing recipe. I am delighted to be introduced to carrot hummus. It is sweet and delicious and no tahini is needed. Instead of dill, I substituted 1/2 tsp of ground cumin and pureed it with the other ingredients. As for pickled pepperoncini, I will save it for starting fires.
Perfect for lunch!
Searching for a grainy all vegan bread….suggestions please
I order Simple Kneads bread online. You order 4 loaves and freeze and take out loaves as needed. I keep in the refrigerated. They don’t bake your order until ordered. Ships fast. I love the sourdough,pumpernickel, and their new one cinnamon raisin.
Ezekiel bread is a good choice
I buy my bread from Aldi. It’s really good – grains, organic.
Our favorite grainy, vegan bread is the “Squirrely” Sprouted Wheat bread from Silver Hills. Delicious and full of omega-6s.
Would love to see the nutritional values of these recipes
Not a fan of dill. What would be a good sub?
Thanks!

Instead of dill, maybe ground cumin or Old Bay seasoning.
