Avocado and Leafy Greens Sandwich … my new favourite sandwich recipe. 🙂 Ya, made this last week for breakfast/brunch during weekday. 

My husband and I were so hungry, that I couldn’t wait to make a simple meal platter too. And , I am one among the old school folks, who prefer to prepare & eat freshly made meals every single day.

Freshly baked bakery bread (store bought) and fresh veggies caught my sight. Quickly made these easy and simple sandwiches.

And believe me, they were so filling and tasty, that we didn’t had any other meal until dinner. My husband just adored them. Hope you would try too.

Health Benefits of, ‘Avocado and Leafy Greens Simple Sandwich’:

Avocado are Nature’s butter. They are rich in protein, fibre and iron. But too much of avocado is not suitable for weight watchers.

Leafy Greens that I used here are, Water Cress, Baby Spinach, Rockets/Arugula, Kale. And are low in fat, rich in iron, fibre and essential minerals.

Salad Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes They are 80% filled with water. And are rich in Vitamin C.

To Conclude, these sandwiches are low in fat, rich in protein, iron, fibre, and essential nutrients. And they perfectly fall under Whole Food Plant Based (WFPB) recipe category.

These are suitable for Vegan, Vegetarian, Plant Based, Whole Foods, Kids Friendly, Weight Loss, Low Carbs, Low Fat, Nut Free, diets. And can be carried for a picnic during any season.

And fits in absolutely well, for breakfast, brunch, main course, dinner, picnic lunches, kids school lunches, party platters.

Step Wise Pics Procedure for ‘Avocado and Leafy Greens Vegan Sandwich Recipe’:

Gather all the ingredients at one place. Cut the avocados at the centre, discard the seed.

Into a mixing bowl, scoop out the avocados from the shell. Mash them perfectly.

Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, red chilli flakes and salt (as per your taste). Mix everything gently.

Cut the cucumber, onion into thin slices and the cherry tomatoes into halves.

Take a tablespoon of avocado mash onto the bread slices. Spread throughout as shown.

Now, place the lettuce on each of the slices. Over it put 2 layers of cucumber slices, onion slices, tomato halves and leafy greens. If needed, sprinkle some salt.

Tips & Storage:

  • Adjust the salt & spice as per your taste.
  • There are great chances, for the mashed avocado to turn dark. To avoid that we have added lemon juice. So, try not to skip using fresh lemon juice.
  • Though I have used whole meal bread, you might use any other bread of your choice. even Bagels would suit best here.
  • You can use any salad greens of your choice. I have used, Water Cress, Baby Spinach, Rockets/Arugula.
  • Storage: For storage purpose, always wrap these sandwiches in cling film.
  • They stay good at room temperature up to a day when packed in an air tight container.
  • And for 2 days when stored in fridge.

Result:

  • Both of us, loved having these quick & simple yet nutritious meal, with the goodness of Avocado and Leafy greens.
  • They were ultimately delicious and very filling too.
  • The happy part is, while eating these sandwiches we had that ‘guilt free’ feeling, as they are Whole Foods Plant Based, they didn’t had any added fat.
  • We had them just as it is, they were certainly delish and full-flavoured.
