Panera Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
My healthy, easy Panera Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich recipe is a delicious copycat version of Panera’s most popular veggie sandwich! Packed with crisp veggies, creamy hummus, and a tangy punch of vegan feta, it only takes 10 minutes to make- and for me, it tastes even better than the original.

Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making sure my sandwich stays fresh and delicious is to wait until I’m ready to eat before putting it all together! Trust me, I’ve learned the hard way, veggies and hummus can make the bread way too soggy if assembled too early. If I’m packing this for later, I toast the bread for extra crunch and keep the ingredients separate until it’s time to eat.
- Toast the bread – I love giving my bread a quick toast for extra crunch and structure. It keeps the sandwich from getting soggy and adds a little bite.
- Add fresh lemon juice – A squeeze of lemon juice over the veggies totally brightens up the flavors. It’s a small step but makes a big difference.
- Make it a veggie club – When I’m extra hungry, I add another layer of veggies and a third slice of bread. It turns this into a hearty, stacked veggie club.
