Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole grain bread
- 1 cup low sodium soft cheese (such as ricotta or cottage cheese)
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 slices radish
- 0.5 thinly sliced cucumber
- 4 leaves fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Start by toasting the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crunchy. This can be done using a toaster or an oven set to broil for a few minutes.
While the bread is toasting, prepare the avocado by cutting it in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into a small bowl. Add lemon juice and black pepper to the avocado and mash with a fork until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Spread the low sodium soft cheese evenly on all toasted bread slices.
On two slices of bread, layer the mashed avocado mixture on top of the cheese spread.
Place thin cucumber slices and radish slices over the avocado layer for added freshness and crunch.
For the finishing touch, add fresh basil leaves on top of the vegetables to enhance the flavor with a hint of aromatic herbs.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of cheese-covered bread to make two completed sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally for easy handling and serve immediately.
