Description

A refreshing and wholesome sandwich recipe combining the natural sweetness of grated carrot and raisins with the creamy texture of houmous and a hint of mint, served between hearty brown bread slices. Perfect for a light lunch or snack, this easy-to-make sandwich can be prepared ahead of time for convenience.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
  • 2 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp chopped mint

Bread & Spread

  • 4–6 slices brown bread
  • 3 tbsp houmous

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and grated carrot with the raisins, olive oil, and white wine vinegar. Stir well to evenly coat the carrot and raisins with the dressing.
  2. Season and add mint: Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste, then fold in the chopped mint to add freshness and aroma to the filling.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread houmous evenly on 2-3 slices of the brown bread. Top these slices with a generous amount of the carrot and raisin mixture, then place the remaining 2-3 slices of bread on top to form sandwiches.
  4. Cut and serve: Cut the sandwiches into your preferred shapes, such as triangles or fingers, making them easy to handle and enjoy.
  5. Optional preparation ahead: The filling can be made a day in advance and refrigerated in a covered bowl until ready to assemble the sandwiches, ensuring the flavors meld together beautifully.

Notes

  • The filling can be prepared a day ahead and stored in the fridge to save time.
  • Use thinly sliced brown bread for easier eating and a lighter sandwich.
  • For added texture, consider sprinkling some chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds into the filling.
  • This sandwich pairs well with a crisp green salad or a light soup for a complete meal.
  • Substitute white wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar for a slightly different tang.
