Begin by preparing the avocado. Cut it in half, remove the seed, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the avocado. Mash and mix until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and the tomato into thin slices.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. Mix well to create a spread.
Toast the whole grain seeded sandwich bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness and allow them to cool slightly.
Spread the avocado mixture evenly onto one slice of the toasted bread.
Layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, and lettuce leaves on top of the avocado spread.
Sprinkle the sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds evenly on top of the vegetables.
On the second slice of toasted bread, spread the mayonnaise and mustard mixture.
Place the second slice of bread, spread side down, on top of the layered ingredients, pressing gently to secure the sandwich.
Cut the sandwich in half with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
