Ingredients:
- 4 slices of your favorite bread (whole wheat, sourdough, etc.)
- 1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 small tomato, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese or hummus
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: sprouts, lettuce, red onion
Instructions:
Step 1: Spread cream cheese or hummus on two slices of bread. Imagine a bird’s-eye view of two slices of light brown whole wheat bread, each generously spread with a smooth, white cream cheese.
Step 2: Layer sliced avocado on one of the cream cheese-covered bread slices. Picture close-up of one slice of whole wheat bread with cream cheese, now topped with overlapping, bright green slices of ripe avocado.
Step 3: Arrange cucumber slices over the avocado. Visualize the same bread slice, now with delicate, translucent green cucumber slices neatly placed on top of the avocado.
Step 4: Place tomato slices on top of the cucumber. Imagine the sandwich filling growing, with vibrant red tomato slices layered over the cucumber, adding a pop of color.
Step 5: Season with salt and pepper. Picture a close-up of the assembled toppings, with a light sprinkle of black pepper and tiny grains of salt scattered across the vegetables.
Step 6: Top with the other slice of bread, cream cheese side down. Envision the second slice of bread, coated in white cream cheese, being carefully placed on top of the vegetable layers to complete the sandwich.
Step 7: (Optional) Cut the sandwich in half before serving. Imagine a sharp knife cutting cleanly through the assembled sandwich, revealing the colorful layers of cucumber, avocado, and tomato.
