Instructions
Prepare the Veggies
- Using a sharp chef's knife on a cutting board, slice the red onion into rings. About 1/4" thick. Need just 4 per sandwich.
- Cut the cucumber into quarters. Remove seeds from the watery middle section.Cut the 4 sticks in half lengthwise.Finish by slicing all 8 sticks into pieces. Need about 2 tablespoons worth per sandwich.
- Roughly chop about 3 Peppadew Peppers. Need about 1 tablespoon worth per sandwich.
- Trim 1-2 leaves of green leaf lettuce, leaving just the green part of the leaf. Then cut the lettuce into 4 pieces, careful to leave the ruffle on the each of each one. Need enough lettuce to cover one slice of bread per sandwich.
- Use a serrated knife to slice tomatoes about 1/4" each. Need 4 slices per sandwich.
Assembling the Panera Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
- Spread a thin layer of hummus on each slice of bread.
- Add a layer of green leaf lettuce to one slice of bread.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta on top of the remaining hummus slice.
- Add chopped peppadew peppers over the feta.
- Lay the cucumber slices over the peppers and feta.
- Add 4 onion rings on top of the cucumber. Panera places 2 on each half so that when it is cut, the rings stay in tact.
- Add 4 tomatoes on top of the rings. Again, 2 tomatoes on each half.
- Close the sandwich and enjoy!
