There is something truly wonderful about a simple sandwich that focuses on fresh, quality ingredients. This avocado sandwich is one of my favorite go to meals when I want something light but satisfying during a busy afternoon.

The combination of creamy avocado and crisp cucumber is just classic. My top tip is to use a really good quality bread, like a hearty multigrain, because it holds the avocado spread beautifully.

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of your favorite bread
  • 1 ripe avocado
  • 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives
  • A pinch of salt and black pepper
  • Optional: a few lettuce leaves for extra crunch

Instructions

  1. 1

    Toast your bread slices until they are lightly golden and firm.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, scoop out the avocado and mash it with the mayonnaise, lemon juice, herbs, salt, and pepper until it is creamy.

  3. 3

    Spread a generous layer of the avocado mixture onto one slice of bread.

  4. 4

    Layer the cucumber slices over the avocado, adding the lettuce leaves if you are using them.

  5. 5

    Top with the second slice of bread, press down gently, and cut the sandwich in half to serve.

💡 Tips

To prevent the avocado from turning brown, eat this sandwich right away. If you need to pack it for later, keep the avocado mash in a separate container and assemble the sandwich just before you are ready to eat.
