Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe avocados
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 small Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ripe, especially the avocados.
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it's mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mashed avocado to add flavor and prevent browning. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined. Set aside.
Thinly slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. If desired, lightly toast them in a toaster or on a skillet for a couple of minutes on each side.
Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado mixture on two slices of the bread.
Place two lettuce leaves on top of the avocado spread on each slice of bread.
Layer the tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices over the lettuce.
Place fresh basil leaves on top of the vegetables for added aroma and taste.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top slice of bread if desired for extra richness.
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally using a sharp knife and serve immediately.
