A bright and refreshing spin on a traditional sandwich, featuring creamy avocado, crisp cucumber, and a fluffy cream cheese spread.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Whip up the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with lemon juice, garlic powder, half the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
  2. Toast the bread: Toast all four slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy on both sides using a toaster, skillet, or broiler.
  3. Slice the fresh vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, slice and pat dry the tomato, and slice the avocado lengthwise, drizzling it with olive oil and lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. Assemble the first layer: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream cheese on two slices of toasted bread, covering all the way to the edges.
  5. Layer the veggies: Layer tomato slices, then avocado strips, then cucumber rounds on top of the cream cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.
  6. Complete the sandwich: Spread cream cheese on the remaining bread slices and place them cream-cheese-side down on the stack. Scatter remaining chives on top.
  7. Slice and serve: Slice diagonally and serve immediately, enjoying the beautiful presentation and delightful flavors!

Notes

For added protein, consider adding slices of smoked turkey or roasted chickpeas between the layers.
