Bell Pepper Sandwich: The Ultimate Low-Carb, Crunchy & Colorful Lunch Idea

A healthy, crunchy alternative to bread—this bell pepper sandwich is easy to make, packed with nutrients, and totally customizable.

Scale

1 large bell pepper (red or yellow)

2–3 slices turkey or your preferred protein

1 slice cheese (Swiss, cheddar, or mozzarella)

2 tbsp hummus or cream cheese

1/4 avocado, sliced

Cucumber slices or baby spinach

Optional: mustard, pesto, or hot sauce

1. Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove seeds.

2. Spread hummus or cream cheese on both halves.

3. Layer turkey, cheese, avocado, and veggies on one half.

4. Add mustard or other flavor boosters if desired.

5. Top with other half of pepper and gently press together.

6. Serve fresh and enjoy immediately or wrap for lunch.

Use toothpicks to hold the sandwich together for lunchboxes.

Avoid very watery ingredients like tomatoes if prepping ahead.

Best eaten fresh for maximum crunch.
