Mediterranean Grilled Veggie Sandwich

/

I like anything easy, fresh and colorful during the summer months. Oh, and I also really like delicious. I try to use as many vegetables as possible to get all of the wonderful nutrients that the season has to offer.

This Mediterranean grilled veggie sandwich is packed with fresh summer flavor and layered with grilled zucchini, roasted red peppers, creamy hummus, and salty feta cheese on toasted sourdough bread.

It’s the kind of sandwich that feels light and fresh while still being satisfying enough for lunch or dinner. The grilled vegetables add smoky flavor, the hummus creates creaminess, and the feta brings that classic Mediterranean-inspired flavor combination together beautifully.

This recipe is also incredibly customizable depending on your preferences and nutrition goals, making it perfect for easy summer meals, picnics, or casual entertaining.

I’ve added a bunch of ways to customize it below along with side dishes to consider adding.

Enjoy this grilled Mediterranean sandwich on a weeknight but it’s also great for casual backyard party or get together.
