This Mediterranean sandwich is my go to lunch when I want something fresh and filling. It brings together crunchy veggies, salty feta, and aromatic basil pesto for a meal that feels like a little vacation on a plate.

I recommend using a sturdy bread like ciabatta or sourdough so it holds up well to all the delicious toppings. If you are packing this for work, keep the pesto in a small container and spread it right before you eat to keep the bread from getting soft.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of hearty sourdough or ciabatta bread
  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 4 slices of cucumber
  • 2 slices of tomato
  • 1/4 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • A small handful of fresh spinach or arugula
  • 2 slices of red onion, optional
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast your bread slices lightly if you prefer a bit of extra crunch.

  2. 2

    Spread the basil pesto generously on one side of both bread slices.

  3. 3

    Layer the spinach, cucumber, tomato, red pepper, and red onion on the bottom slice.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the filling.

  6. 6

    Top with the remaining slice of bread and press down gently before cutting in half.

💡 Tips

Try adding sun dried tomatoes or kalamata olives if you want an extra punch of flavor. Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to one day, though it is best enjoyed immediately while the bread is fresh.
