Simple Dill Pickle Hummus and Sprouts Sandwich Recipe for Busy Days

The first time I tried this sandwich, I was blown away by how something so simple could be so delicious. My family and I had taken my mom out for high tea, and this was one of the sandwiches served as part of the vegan option. After a few bites, I thought, “How have I never had this before?” The combination of flavours was so satisfying yet effortless. I made a mental note of the ingredients and decided to recreate it at home—with one small twist that made it even better. Now, I’m excited to share with you the easiest dill pickle hummus and sprouts sandwich that’s not only quick to make but also packed with flavour and nutrition!

Why This Dill Pickle Hummus and Sprouts Sandwich Will Be Your New Favourite

A Simple Recipe with Big Flavour

I’m not kidding when I tell you that this sandwich takes less than 5 minutes to make and uses only 3 ingredients, but with amazing flavour. It’s the perfect sandwich to make for lunches on busy evenings/mornings, for potlucks, or parties. Because it’s so quick to put together, it makes a fantastic lunch or snack when you have last-minute lunch guests or only a few minutes to put something together.

I’ve opted to make these sandwiches with dill pickle hummus which gives a tangy, herby flavour that brings this sandwich to the next level. Regular hummus is good too, but there’s something about dill weed that I just love in creamy spreads. It brightens up the hummus giving it a refreshing lift and appetizing aroma.

This sandwich is especially delicious with soft, tender sourdough einkorn bread, which enhances the smooth creaminess of the hummus. The result is a light and elegant sandwich that’s versatile enough for any occasion.

A Sandwich That’s Delicious, Nutritious, and Effortless

Fast food too often means unhealthy, but this is not the case with this sandwich! It is as nutritious as it is quick and easy to make. Let’s look at the breakdown:

Dill pickle Hummus

Hummus is a healthy plant-based spread that’s nutrient-dense thanks to the chickpeas and tahini. Chickpeas are a good source of protein, iron, fibre, magnesium and folate which makes them excellent for regulating blood sugar levels, providing energy, and keeping you full. Tahini is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats which also help reduce inflammation. It’s also a source of protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins.

Alfalfa Sprouts

Alfalfa sprouts are an amazing addition to this sandwich because they not only taste great with the hummus, but they’re also low in calories and rich in vitamins and minerals. They contain important minerals such as vitamins K, C, and folate needed for bone health, immune function, and energy metabolism. They are also high in antioxidants which reduce inflammation, a precursor for many diseases, and fight free radicals which cause damage to the cells in our bodies and contribute to premature aging and chronic diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s.

Ingredients

• Dill Pickle Hummus – store-bought or homemade
• Alfalfa Sprouts – remember to wash them well
• Einkorn Sourdough Bread – or another bread you enjoy

How to Make a Simple Dill Pickle Hummus and Sprouts Sandwich

Begin by washing the alfalfa sprouts well. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Spread dill pickle hummus thickly onto each slice of bread. This will keep the sprouts from falling out of the sandwich.

Top one slice of the bread with alfalfa sprouts according to your preference.

Top with the second slice of bread and cut in half or quarters.

Enjoy!
