Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Black Bean Hummus

This Grilled Vegetable Sandwich with Black Bean Hummus is packed full of flavor and makes the perfect healthy lunch!

In the summer, I try to eat as many fresh vegetables as possible. Troy and I have been homemade hummus obsessed lately and every weekend, I find myself making a new batch. I usually stick to hummus made with chickpeas but wanted to try something different. This black bean hummus turned out awesome and I will make it again. 

This sandwich was a lot more involved than what we would usually have for lunch but was so worth it. Troy ate two sandwiches and was talking the whole time about how great they were- win!

Enjoy! This sandwich was a favorite and we would make it again.

For this recipe, we used Brownberry Healthfull bread which was awesome. I picked it up at my local Kroger and it comes in 3 different varieties. They come in flax and sunflower, steel cut oats and honey and nuts and seeds. We love the flax and sunflower so far! Each slice has only 80 calories and is made with whole grain flour and is rich in fiber.
