Toast the sourdough bread slices until golden and crispy. Set aside.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork and mix in the lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Rinse the cucumber and slice thinly into rounds or half-moons, depending on the size of the cucumber.
Wash and trim the radishes. Slice them into thin rounds using a knife or mandoline for uniform slices.
Peel the carrot and use a vegetable peeler to create long thin ribbons.
Peel and slice the red onion into very thin rings. Rinse under cold water to reduce the sharpness, then pat dry.
Spread an even layer of the avocado mixture onto each slice of toasted sourdough bread.
Layer the cucumber slices, radish slices, carrot ribbons, and red onion rings evenly over two slices of the avocado-coated bread.
Sprinkle the nori flakes over the vegetables to add a light, ocean-inspired flavor.
Top each sandwich with fresh spinach leaves and drizzle with a touch of olive oil for added richness.
Place the remaining two slices of toasted bread on top to close the sandwiches. Gently press down to secure the layers.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately. Optionally, pair with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal.
