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.

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

- Both of us, loved having these quick & simple yet nutritious meal, with the goodness of Avocado and Leafy greens.
