Tempeh Sandwich

Yields1 ServingTotal Time10 mins

Ingredients
 2 slices preferred bread (I use sprouted Ezekiel Bread which I always keep in the freezer or a good sourdough if I have it)
 2 tbsp hummus (or to taste)
 ⅛ tsp high quality garlic granules
 ⅛ tsp cumin
 cracked black pepper
 8 kalamata olives, halved
 8 slices of tempeh bacon (store-bought or homemade)
 cucumber slices (from ~1/4 cucumber)
 red bell peppers slices (from ~1/4 red bell pepper)
 small handful of broccoli sprouts (or substitute another mild sprout such as pea or sunflower)
 several leaves of spinach
 sliced avocado (from ~1/6 medium avocado)
 ½ tsp honey
 salt to taste (to sprinkle over avocado) (if you have a flakey variety of sea salt, use it here)
Preparation
1

Wash and slice the vegetables. Massage the spinach and broccoli sprouts with the olive oil and a tiny pinch of salt.

2

Toast the bread very lightly. Do not over-toast the bread--particularly if you are packing this sandwich for many hours later (to take on a hike or for a packed lunch). Toasting the bread a little keeps it from becoming too soggy over time. However, if you over-toast the bread, it will become hard before you eat it.

3

On one toast, add the hummus. Sprinkle the spices over the hummus and stir it in. Spread the halved kalamata olives over the hummus. On the second toast, add the slices of avocado, and sprinkle salt and pepper over them. Add a little drizzle of honey if using.

4

To the avocado toast, add broccoli sprouts, spinach, cucumber slices, red pepper slices, and tempeh bacon. Press the two sides together. Store in an airtight container until you find a nice lunch spot!
