Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons hummus, homemade if you can — store-bought works just fine
- 2 slices good-quality white or whole wheat bread, a small baguette is great here
- ½ English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 vine-ripened tomato, thinly sliced
- ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 radishes, thinly sliced
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Toast the bread if you’d like a little extra texture, or keep it soft for a more classic sandwich feel. A whole-grain wrap works well too.
- Spread the hummus evenly on both slices of bread.
- Layer the cucumber, tomato, red onion, and radishes. Keep everything thinly sliced so the sandwich stays balanced and easy to bite.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of oregano or any spice you enjoy.
- Slice in half and serve immediately.

The Patient Cook Notes
This recipe is a framework.
Add lettuce, avocado, sprouts, bell peppers, olives, pickles, banana peppers, or jalapeños. Use roasted red pepper hummus for extra depth. Swap bread for a wrap or pita if that’s what you have.
Good bread, good hummus, fresh vegetables — that’s really all it needs.
