There is something truly special about a good avocado sandwich. It is the perfect meal when you want something light but filling, and it tastes like a little treat in the middle of a busy day.

My top tip is to use bread that has a nice crust. If you toast your slices just a little bit, it adds a great texture that contrasts perfectly with the creamy avocado.

🧺 Ingredients

2 slices of your favorite bread
1 ripe avocado
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons cream cheese or herb butter
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
A pinch of salt and black pepper
Optional handful of fresh sprouts or greens

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Toast your bread slices until they are lightly golden brown.
2
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a little lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
3
Spread your cream cheese or herb butter onto one side of each slice of bread.
4
Layer the mashed avocado onto one slice, then top it with the cucumber slices and sprouts if you like.
5
Place the second slice of bread on top, cut the sandwich in half, and enjoy immediately.

💡 Tips

Eat this right after you make it because the avocado can brown if it sits too long. You can add a slice of tomato if you want extra juice, but be sure to pat it dry first so your bread does not get soggy.
