Step-by-Step Instructions

Start by laying out two slices of whole grain bread on a clean cutting board. Spread a layer of hummus on one side of each slice, reaching the edges. Add pesto on top if desired.
Place a couple of romaine lettuce leaves on one slice of bread, covering the hummus. Overlap the leaves slightly for better coverage.
Add sliced avocado and shredded carrots on top of the lettuce. Press down gently. Follow with thinly sliced red onion and red bell pepper.
Layer on cucumber slices or dill pickles. Sprinkle with sprouts or microgreens.
Arrange thin apple slices over the top or swap for pears. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Place the second slice of bread on top, hummus side down. Wrap in parchment paper if on the go and serve immediately.
