Whether you’re a fan of classic flavors or looking to get creative with toppings, the avocado sandwich is versatile, easy to prepare, and full of nutrients.

Ingredients

  1. 1 ripe avocado
  2. 2 slices of bread (whole wheat, sourdough, gluten-free, or bread of choice)
  3. 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional, for toasting the bread)
  4. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  5. Salt and pepper to taste
  6. 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  7. Fresh greens (spinach, arugula, or lettuce)
  8. 1 tomato, sliced
  9. 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  10. Optional: Sliced cucumber, radishes, or sprouts
  11. Optional: Hot sauce or mustard (for a spicy kick)

Instructions

Prepare the avocado: Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop the flesh into a small bowl and mash it with a fork. Add the lemon juice, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper, and mash until smooth and creamy. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

  1. Toast the bread: If desired, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet with a bit of olive oil until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Assemble the sandwich: Spread the mashed avocado evenly on one slice of bread. Layer on the fresh greens, tomato slices, and red onion. If desired, add cucumber, radishes, or sprouts for extra crunch and flavor.
  3. Add any extra toppings: For some extra zing, drizzle with hot sauce or a smear of mustard. You can also top with an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, or even some grated cheese if you prefer.
  4. Serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, press down gently, and slice the sandwich in half. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegan version: This sandwich is naturally vegan, but you can add a slice of vegan cheese or hummus to make it even more filling.
  • Add protein: For a heartier sandwich, add a boiled egg, grilled chicken, or turkey slices. Tofu also works well for a vegetarian protein boost.
  • Spicy avocado sandwich: Add some sliced jalapeños, chili flakes, or a drizzle of sriracha sauce to bring some heat to the sandwich.
  • Cheese options: Try adding slices of mozzarella, feta, or goat cheese for extra creaminess and flavor.
  • Roasted vegetables: Add roasted vegetables like peppers, zucchini, or eggplant for a more substantial sandwich.
