This could be a copy cat recipe for Panera Bread's Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich, however, this is a little lower in calories and fat with the few changes I've done. I suggest using a dense thicker bread for this sandwich, it holds up better. You can substitute your favorite flavor of hummus.

MEDITERRANEAN VEGETABLE SANDWICHES

A Mediterranean-Style Sandwich from the South Beach Diet's "Daily Dish" (Phase 2). The bright colors and flavors of this overstuffed sandwich reflect the sunny region it's named for. Soaking the onions in ice water tames the bite; try this technique for salads too. If you're on Phase 1, skip the pita and eat the filling as a salad.
