In a small mixing bowl, mash the avocado until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In another small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Lay two large romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of mashed avocado over each leaf.
Layer the sliced cucumber, grated carrot, red bell pepper, and red onion evenly over the avocado layer. Add a handful of microgreens or sprouts on top.
Drizzle the dressing over the veggies for added flavor.
Top each loaded lettuce leaf with another romaine leaf to form a sandwich. Gently press down to secure the filling.
