Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and mashed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices whole-grain bread (or gluten-free bread, if preferred)
- Fresh vegetables for toppings: cucumber, tomato, spinach, or arugula
- Optional garnishes: fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley) and red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Mash the Avocado and Beans: Mash the avocado until smooth. Add the white beans and mash them lightly, leaving some chunks for texture. If preferred, use a food processor to blend the mixture into a smoother consistency.
- Mix in the Seasonings: Stir in the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Toast the bread slices if you prefer a crispy texture. Spread the avocado and white bean mixture evenly onto one slice of bread. Add fresh vegetables like spinach, cucumber, and tomato.
- Serve and Enjoy: Top with the other slice of bread, and enjoy immediately! You can add herbs or a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Notes
- Mash the Beans Well: For a smooth texture, mash the beans well, but leave a few beans whole for added bite.
- Use Fresh Avocados: A ripe avocado is key for smoothness and flavor, so make sure it’s soft to the touch but not mushy.
- Customize with Veggies: Add your favorite fresh vegetables to enhance the flavor and texture of the sandwich. Arugula, tomato, and cucumber work well.
