Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. So normally, I have some sort of big salad with a plant based protein for lunch. One of my favorite salads is roasted beet, goat cheese and walnuts. Sometimes you just need something a little heartier for lunch. I got this genius idea to take one of my best loved salads and turn it into a Beet, Goat Cheese And Hummus Sandwich. Trust me, it’s going to be your new favorite lunch!
Beet, Goat Cheese And Hummus Sandwich
Seriously this Beet, Goat Cheese and Hummus sandwich was so easy and so delicious. I cannot believe that I never thought of it before. You may be scratching your head on the addition of the hummus. Trust me-game changer! A few years back I added hummus to a grilled cheese sandwich and new they were a duo made in heaven. I’ve been searching for a way to pair them up ever since.
Not only is this Beet, Goat Cheese and Hummus Sandwich ridiculously delicious, it’s also crazy easy to prepare. Beets are Uber popular of late for their anti-inflammatory and recovery benefits. It’s simple to roast your own beets and then use them in salads and sandwiches for days. I know not everyone is into that level of prep. You can find roasted beets in the produce department that are ready to go.
I’ve packed this Beet, Goat Cheese and Hummus Sandwich with some other goodies as well. Walnut pieces are a must for texture and for protein. They are nestled right into the goat cheese so they stay put. In my traditional salad, I like to have some grape tomatoes and a good Balsamic vinegar. I took some halved tomatoes and tossed them with some Balsamic and threw them right in there.

Beet and Goat cheese is a great combo! I love the addition of walnuts for some crunch.
Thanks! I like a little texture mix in my sandwiches too.
I have been on such a hummus kick lately – this actually does look like it might be my new fav sandwich! 😛
I don’t know why I don’t combine hummus and goat cheese more often! Hope you try it too
You had me at beets and goat cheese – yum!
One of my go to combos as well!
Hummus is such a delicious condiment! I need to add it to more sandwiches and wraps.
It goes with so much more than you think!
This sounds awesome! I love beets, and they are so perfect with tangy goat cheese and walnuts.
Thanks I am loving the combo myself as well!
I love beets and hummus, but have never tried goat cheese before. Making this sandwich seems like a good way to try all 3 together!
They were surprisingly good together!
Gosh, this sounds good! Question: would the beets pack well in a lunch? I worry that they’d leak into the bread and stain everything.
Well if you are not going to eat it right away, I might put the beet more towards the middle of the sandwich maybe nestled between some lettuce. I do that with tomato slices a lot. Let me know if you try it!
This looks amazing! I find peeled, cooked and ready to eat beets in the pantry section of Costco. Typically I like to prep my produce myself but they make it so easy I can’t resist. Thanks for sharing! Yum!
Yes already prepped and ready to eat beets are great to use as well.
This sandwich looks amazing. I wish you could make my lunches.
Thanks! Anytime come on over for lunch. This one is really pretty simple to throw together
I LOVE everything beets
Me too! So many health benefits too
This really does look like a great sandwich! I’m always looking for a new lunch. Thanks for hosting.
Thanks Julie! Hope you try it out
Pinned this so I don’t forget! I’m not a huge goat cheese fan, but I can easily swap a garlic and herb cheese spread with all of the other ingredients. Now I know how I’m using up my lemon garlic hummus that I made over the weekend. 🙂
Oh yes that would be a great combo too!
You know you had me at beets! Now I’m bummed I ate the last two over the weekend as we’re trying to clean out the fridge before leaving tomorrow otherwise this would have been perfect for lunch.
I know you are a fellow beets lover! I loved the hummus and beet combo
I love goat cheese and hummus, separately! Never tried them together before 🙂
Life changing! Hope you enjoy 🙂
Mmm I love putting hummus in my sammie! Super delicious every time.
Definitely agree!
Man, that sounds delish and super easy to make. I might have to test it out for lunch next week! Do you think it would hold up if I pre-make for work the night before?
I don’t usually make sandwiches the night before so cannot say. It might depend on what kind of bread you use. Let me know though!
This looks yummy, although i will skip the walnuts lol, not much of a walnut fan. But this looks very easy to put together
Very easy to put together indeed!
I am obsessed with beets. They are seriously so good! I have a beet recipe coming up on the blog on Wednesday this week 🙂
One question though – we’re not big goat cheese people in our house. Do you think feta would be a good sub? Or any other ideas?
Sure why not try feta or even cream cheese?! Let me know if you do. Yes beets are the best and so good for us
mmm this sounds so yummy- so many bold flavors. I love using hummus on sandwiches.
Me too! Hope you try it out
Hi Deborah, this is a healthy and lovely sandwich, I want to taste now.
It’s super easy to make too!
Hmmmmm, this looks interesting….Do roasted beets taste any different than “regular” beets? (please say YES) LOL I have tried the beet juice and the powdered beet mixes, and my palette just says “no.” Am I a bad person? 😉
Ok so I do not care for beet powders or juice but I do really enjoy real beets. So I vote you try them!
I’ve been on a big hummus kick lately. I have to say I would have never thought it would pair well with goat cheese. This sandwich does look tasty!
Game changer! Trust me!
I would for sure try that sandwich! I was just talking about goat cheese the other day. I love it in my omelets. And, I enjoy using hummus on my sandwiches. Today, I used guacamole – trying to eliminate mayo and honestly I don’t really miss it!
I love hummus on everything too. I hope you try this combo I think you will like it
I am still not sure if I like goat cheese…. hmm… or if I like cheese in general. lol.
But I do love hummus in everything, so that is a win!
Well I cannot answer that for you! I vote that you give it a try
Love the layers of great flavor in here. And of course you had me at beets!
Ah thanks! Hope you give it a try
I can’t do the goat cheese but the rest of this sandwich is off the hook. Thanks for the beets idea. I put it on my egg sandwich today and it was great.
eggs and hummus are also one of my go to combos so glad to hear you enjoyed it
I am so in need of lunch suggestions, and that looks amazing! It is definitely on my list to try
Thanks! I am so glad hope you enjoy
Thanks for the lunch inspiration! I love beets and goat cheese together but never thought to combine them on a sandwich!
Yes they do make a great easy sandwich!
This looks so amazing! I love anything with beets, can’t wait to try this sandwich!!
Super healthy too! Hope you enjoy
This sounds so tasty. I love beets and goat cheese together. This reminds me of something you would order out at a Panera.
Way better than Panera! 🙂
Humm…I will try this but probably not until the weekend, I don’t have any beets in the house, and my husband surely doesn’t know what hummus is, so he can’t go to the store for me. I’m not as sure about this one as the last one…lol…but I like roasted beats, and I like hummus. I like bread. I’m going to go for it!
Take the leap! It’s a great combo I promise 🙂
I would have never thought to use hummus as a sandwich spread before, but that makes so much sense. Its definitely a much healthier option than traditional condiments.
It’s life changing! 🙂
That looks SO good! I was drooling when I saw it posted in instagram!
Pretty much a combo of my favorite ingredients all together!
Mine too! I hope you enjoy it
Oh! This sounds delicious…….I just need to come up with a substitute for the beets lol. I went on a juicing kick a while back and went a little overboard on the beet juice….. Beets are no longer appetizing to me haha. Maybe cucumber will work.
So funny I do not care for beet juice but I love actual beets. Let me know if you try it!
