Healthy & Delicious Vegetable Sandwich Recipes Please!?

Nature

Please, can you tell me what's your FAVORITE and most HEALTHIEST sandwich recipe that you prefer?

Thank you.
That's VEGETABLE sandwiches ONLY please no meat. Thanks!

Answer
I luv Hummus(many different flavors) as the "protein" then pile it high with Tomatoes slices, Sprouts(or Romaine Lettuce), Cukes,Olives, Sweet Red Onion; what ever I have in the fridge.
2nd One I like really well is slices of Avocado, same as above..let you imagination run wild. If you like it as a salad you could easily like it as a sandwich too.
Use a good whole grain bread..all this works in a wrap or a pita too.

Answer
This is an easy vegetarian recipe for whole grain quinoa flavored with garlic and Parmesan cheese. Although this is a very basic recipe, you can vary it by adding some fried tofu or whatever veggies you happen to have on hand. For a vegan version of this quinoa recipe, I smothered my quinoa in nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese and used olive oil in place of the butter.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
1 small yellow onion, diced small
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup uncooked quinoa
1/4 tsp salt, or to taste
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

Preparation:
In a medium sized pan, sautee the onion and garlic in butter or olive oil over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, until onions are just soft. Reduce heat to medium low.

Add the vegetable broth and quinoa. Cover, and allow to simmer until liquid is mostly absorbed and quinoa is cooked, about fifteen minutes.

Remove from heat, and gently mix quinoa to distribute any excess moisture. Season with salt to taste, and top with Parmesan cheese, or, for a vegan version, mix in nutritional yeast instead of the cheese.

Makes 3 servings of vegetarian quinoa.

On the other half of the bagel arrange the cucumber slices in a circle. Sprinkle the cucumbers with a pinch of salt if you would like.
Next lay the onion slices on top of the cucumbers, then the tomatoes, followed by a slice of lettuce, and if youâre feeling naughty, another slice of Muenster cheese. LOL

Put the whole thing together and Voila A cool, crisp, and deliciously fabulous Veggie and Cheese Bagel Sandwich.

Healthy Sandwich Recipe, please help!!!!?

Billie Jea

Hey guys, Im on a diet and i go to a school that has no cafeteria which means we have to bring our own food. I usually take to school a turkey sandwhich with mayo, tomatoe and lettuce and white bread and i know it has many calories. I would like to know an easy to make sandwich recipe with not many calories and that is easy to take every where. Thank you.

P.S. Not a very hard to make sanwich, just a VERYYYYY simple sandwich with few calories, and which has fewer calories, brown or white bread? Thank you sooo much :P

Answer
First off, sandwiches are a fine food to eat if you're on a diet. They incorporate several food groups and include good nutrition. Whole grain bread is better than white bread - it has more fiber and better nutrients. If you want to cut calories, make a large half sandwich using only one piece of bread, but adding more meat and veggies. Lowfat wraps are also a good way to get lots of protein and veggies in sandwich form without too much bread.

The sandwich you're eating is perfectly healthy. Mayo is an OK condiment if used moderately. It's made with eggs and vegetable oil, and the fat in it helps to keep you full (thus preventing you from overeating and extra snacking later). Don't use more than 2 tbs.

I'm not a big mayo eater, and have lots of things I like to put on sandwich bread instead:
Mustard (try different kinds - Dijon, whole grain, spicy)
Cranberry sauce (great with turkey!)
Hummus
Pesto
Avocado (also has fat and calories but is super healthy)
Oil, vinegar and herbs
Salad dressing

You could also think about salads. They're a great meal, and easy to make the night before.

healthy vegetable sandwich recipes image

dizzy r

I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)

Answer
Stir fry - Put a bunch of vegetables in the wok with a touch of oil, serve over short grain brown rice.

Soup - Boil vegetables, throw in some noodles, drop in a raw egg or some cooked beans, how about a few shrimp.

Tortillas, beans & cheese. Slice in some tomatoe and avocado.

Sandwiches - Get nice crusty bread, good cheeses, fresh tomatoes, grilled vegetables, tuna fish. Also smoked fish on bagels.

Pilaf - Rice with herbs & seasonings, mix in toasted nuts & seeds, stir in some minced broccoli, carrot or cauliflower, cook using broth for more flavor, add fresh melon on top

Get some good Indian, Chinese and South Asian cookbooks!

Where can i find healthy easy vegetable recipes?

GreenBeane

im 15. I could never find any intresting recipes that i want. they got to be vegtables included. where can i get recipes. oh and i hardly know how to cook,. lol!

Answer
Some of my favorite easy recipes are:
- Grilled avocado sandwich: butter one side of two pieces of bread, mash up some avocado and spread on the non buttered side of a slice of the bread. Top with sliced tomato, bean sprouts, lettuce, whatever floats your boat. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side up. Place on a hot pan and make like a grilled cheese.

- Steamed veggies over brown rice with [your favorite Asian sauce]: Steam chopped veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. Serve over brown rice. Top with favorite Asian sauce like hoisin or teriyaki sauce.

- Soups: Take your favorite combination of veggies, grains, and beans and cook in a veggie broth with some spices. Very easy.

What kind of HEALTHY recipes can I make with whole wheat Pita bread and Tortillas?

Q. I love vegetables and I need some healthy recipes for whole wheat pita bread and whole wheat tortillas... what can i make with them? Thanks.

Answer
I like to fill pita with hard salami and parsley (you could substitute leaner meat, though). Parsley is a great sandwich green and is friggin' loaded with vitamins and minerals.

Another favorite of mine is to make enchiladas with home-made red sauce. (Use lean meat like chicken breast and use a low-fat cheese. Authentic Mexican food doesn't have as much cheese as Americanized Mexican food anyhow.)

Red sauce:
Heat a few Tbsp. of oil in a 2qt. pot and add an equal amount of flour. Heat and stir until the combo (roux) bubbles for a minute or so.
Add ~1/2 cup of paprika (sounds weird, but bear with me...) and a little cayenne or other spicy ground red pepper to taste and continue to stir. You may need to add a little more oil.
Once this is mixed thoroughly and heated (you want the paprika to toast a bit) add ~ 1 1/2 c. water and stir with heat until the sauce thickens. (If sauce is too thick, add more water. Too thin, add a little corn starch/water slurry. You want it to be kinda like pizza sauce consistency.)
Salt to taste.
Fill tortugas with chicken, cheese, onions, olives, cilantro, whatever the hell you want. Have fun with it!
Put ~a third of the sauce in the pan, layer the enchiladas on top, then spread the rest of the sauce on them. Top with a little more cheese.
Bake @ 375F for about 40 min (until sauce is bubbling and cheese browns a little).

I love this recipe and always make it with whole wheat tortugas (good source of fiber) and this red sauce (TONS of vitamin A and other antioxidants).

I never use a recipe, so your results may vary. But it's cheap and pretty easy, so a few practice batches won't be too hard.
(Everyone tells me that they're WAY better than anything from any Mexican restaurant they've had!)

Where can i find healthy easy vegetable recipes?

GreenBeane

im 15. I could never find any intresting recipes that i want. they got to be vegtables included. where can i get recipes. oh and i hardly know how to cook,. lol!

Answer
Some of my favorite easy recipes are:
- Grilled avocado sandwich: butter one side of two pieces of bread, mash up some avocado and spread on the non buttered side of a slice of the bread. Top with sliced tomato, bean sprouts, lettuce, whatever floats your boat. Top with the other slice of bread, butter side up. Place on a hot pan and make like a grilled cheese.

- Steamed veggies over brown rice with [your favorite Asian sauce]: Steam chopped veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, etc. Serve over brown rice. Top with favorite Asian sauce like hoisin or teriyaki sauce.

- Soups: Take your favorite combination of veggies, grains, and beans and cook in a veggie broth with some spices. Very easy.

What are some simple, yummy, healthy recipes?

Q. I am looking for some easy, healthy, yummy recipes. Short preparation and cook time preferred. Please keep in mind that I'm a college student that works part time and I cannot spend tons of money either. Also, I do not eat chicken or pork. I prefer to eat seafood most of the time as it is lean and healthy. I eat beef very rarely because I prefer it over iron tablets. Thanks! :)
