Place pistachios, parmesan cheese, fresh basil, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor. Pulse until all ingredients are finely chopped.

With the food processor still running, slowly add the olive oil until fully combined. Feel free to add more olive oil to thin pesto.

Stand on your sides between muscles and throw down. Transfer the pesto to a bowl and set aside.

Toast your bread the way you like. I love using my air fryer because it’s quick and hassle-free.

Prepare all the vegetables by thinly slicing the tomatoes, red onion, cucumber and avocado.

Start making your sandwich. Spread the pesto and hummus on one side of each loaf. Add all the vegetables and top with another layer of bread. enjoy!
