Ingredients

4 slices thin-sliced bread, such as Dave’s Thin Sliced Bread
½ avocado
⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plain hummus
8 slices tomato
8 slices cucumber
½ cup (packed) broccoli sprouts

Instructions

Step 1: Lightly toast the bread slices until they are just golden and crisp.
Step 2: In a small bowl, smash the avocado with the kosher salt until creamy but still slightly chunky.
Step 3: Spread the smashed avocado evenly over two slices of the toasted bread.
Step 4: Spread 1 tablespoon of plain hummus on each of the remaining two slices of toasted bread.
Step 5: Layer the tomato slices, cucumber slices, and broccoli sprouts on top of the avocado-covered bread slices.
Step 6: Close each sandwich by placing a hummus-spread slice of bread on top.
Step 7: Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of lemon juice to the smashed avocado.
Try using whole grain or sourdough bread for a different texture and taste.
Swap the broccoli sprouts for alfalfa sprouts or fresh spinach for a different green.
To make it more filling, add sliced roasted red peppers or a handful of fresh basil leaves.

Storage

Due to the fresh avocado, this sandwich is best enjoyed immediately for optimal flavor and texture. If you need to store it, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and keep refrigerated for up to 24 hours. Avoid storing for longer as the avocado may brown and the bread can become soggy. Reheat is not recommended.

How to Serve

A sandwich cut into two triangular halves sits on a light wooden board with a white marbled surface beneath. Each sandwich half shows three visible layers inside: the bottom layer is light green avocado spread, the middle layer consists of pale green cucumber slices, and the top layer contains red tomato slices with white and green alfalfa sprouts piled generously on top. The sandwich is made with toasted whole-grain bread that is golden brown and slightly textured. Behind the sandwich, a small cluster of bright red cherry tomatoes on the vine and a green avocado slice rest on the wooden board, along with extra scattered alfalfa sprouts around the sandwich. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of bread for this sandwich?

Yes! This sandwich works well with various breads like whole grain, sourdough, or multigrain. Choose your favorite to suit your taste and texture preferences.

How can I prevent the avocado from browning?

To slow browning, add a little fresh lemon juice to the smashed avocado before spreading it on the bread. This helps maintain the bright green color and fresh flavor for longer.
