Start by toasting the gluten-free bread slices until they are golden brown and crispy. Set them aside to cool slightly.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Mix together until all ingredients are well combined and adjust seasoning to taste.
Wash and slice the tomato and cucumber into thin rounds.
Lay one slice of toasted bread on a clean work surface. Spread the avocado mixture evenly over the entire surface of the bread.
Place the lettuce leaves over the avocado spread, followed by an even layer of tomato slices and cucumber slices.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables for added flavor.
Top with the remaining slice of toasted bread and press down gently to secure the sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately, enjoying the fresh and creamy flavors of the avocado and vegetables.
