Ingredients
Ingredients:
-
2 slices of whole grain or sourdough bread (toasted if desired)
-
1 ripe avocado
-
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
-
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon cream cheese or hummus (optional)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Fresh herbs (like basil or dill) for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Start by cutting the avocado in half. Remove the pit and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it’s smooth but still has some texture. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to the mashed avocado and mix until combined. The lemon juice not only adds flavor but helps prevent the avocado from browning.
If you’re using cream cheese or hummus, spread a thin layer of either one on one side of each slice of bread. This optional step adds extra creaminess and flavor to your sandwich.
Now, spread the mashed avocado over one slice of bread, ensuring an even layer. On top of the avocado, arrange thinly sliced cucumber and tomato slices, slightly overlapping them. The fresh vegetables will add both texture and flavor to each bite.
Sprinkle a little extra salt and pepper over the top of the vegetables. If you’d like, garnish with fresh herbs like basil or dill for an extra layer of freshness and aroma. These herbs will complement the rich flavors of the avocado and vegetables.
Place the second slice of bread on top of the veggies and gently press down to help the sandwich stay together. Use a sharp knife to slice the sandwich in half, and enjoy immediately!
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of black pepper, a dash of lemon juice, or a drizzle of olive oil. Feel free to customize with your favorite herbs like basil or cilantro!
