🥘 Ingredients

Avocado

Chipotle Mayonnaise

Cucumber slices

Red onion slices

Fresh sprouts: I made my own salad sprouts. If you don't want to make your own sprouts, you can easily buy alfalfa or broccoli sprouts in the grocery store.

2 slices of bread: I prefer to use a homemade whole wheat bread or oatmeal bread. If purchasing bread, buy a hearty healthy loaf like Dave's Killer Bread.

Salt and black pepper: optional

🔪 How to Make Avocado Sprouts Sandwich

1. Place the avocado in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Using the tines of a fork, mash avocado to make it spreadable.
2. Spread the mashed avocado on the bottom slice of bread.
3. Next, top avocado layer with tomato slices, red onion slices, cucumber slices, and a handful of alfalfa sprouts.
4. Spread the remaining piece of bread with chipotle mayo. Place spread side down on alfalfa sprouts. Cut and serve as desired.

🥫Storage

Refrigerate: store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 2 days.

📖 Variations

• Add cheese: use an herbed cream cheese or goat cheese in place of the chipotle mayonnaise for a different flavor profile.
• Vegan Version: Substitute regular mayo with vegan mayo and ensure the bread you use is vegan-friendly.
• Protein Boost: Add some sliced tofu, tempeh, or plant-based protein of your choice to amp up the protein content.

💭 Tips

Ripe Avocado: Use ripe avocados for a creamy texture. They should be slightly soft when gently squeezed.

Fresh Sprouts: Opt for fresh, high-quality sprouts from reliable sources to enhance the taste and nutrient profile.

Uniform Slicing: Slice the vegetables uniformly for an even distribution of flavors in each bite.
