Rainbow Vegetable Sandwich
Rainbow Vegetable Sandwich makes the perfect lunch with a mix of rainbow vegetables and a ranch cream cheese spread all on whole-grain bread!
When I was younger, I have fond memories of going to our local fruit and vegetable market with my mom, brother, sister and I. We would load the cart up with all of the produce that we wanted which was always a huge overflowing cart because we loved our produce and were a hungry family of 5. When we got home, us kids would help my mom unload the groceries and immediately pull out all of the vegetables to make our favorite lunch: a loaded veggie sandwich.
For some reason, as an adult, I always forget to make these vegetable sandwiches which is crazy because I love them so much! I recently made another rainbow recipe and had a bunch of produce leftover so I decided to make these amazing Rainbow Vegetable Sandwiches. I seriously could not decide which spread to use: hummus or an herbed cream cheese. I texted my mom and sister and we all thought that both sounded good. So it's up to you, use what sounds best!
I didn't include meat or cheese on this sandwich but you could easily add a few slices of turkey lunch meat or sliced chicken breast. Feel free to use what you like! Also, use what vegetables you have on hand and prefer. I do like having at least one vegetable in each color because it looks so pretty.

Just made these sandwiches for supper tonight and they were very good. I decided to use Boursin garlic and herb cheese and it was really tasty. You could really change the flavor profile of this sandwich by the type of cheese you use. I’d like to try provolone next time. Good sandwich to make when it’s much to hot to cook anything so this is going on my rotation for this summer meals. I also like it because it’s vegetarian and we eat meat but I like to make meals without meat a least a few times during the week.
