ingredients for the avocado sandwich

• Avocado – The star of the show!
• White beans – Canned beans work best for this simple sandwich since they are boiled. You can use chickpeas as well.
• Dressing – Just some extra virgin olive oil along with lime zest and juice for a creamy and citrus flavor
• Red onions – Chop ’em up to add a crunch to the mix, or skip them and add celery!
• Arugula – You can use other greens as well so add what you’d like.
• Seasonings: Adding a little bit of garlic powder, salt and pepper to your liking!
• Whole grain bread – Toasted or untoasted or try it in a wrap.

how to make a vegan avocado sandwich

1. Add the avocado, olive oil, lime juice and lime zest to a bowl. (Make sure that you scoop out all of the ripe avocado so that you’re not missing out on any of that superfood goodness!)
2. Mash and mix together until creamy. Using a fork is a great way to mash out and get the avocado mixture nice and smooth.
3. Add in the rinsed and drained can of white beans to the same bowl.
4. Mash and mix until combined well.
5. Put a bit of the arugula on the bread slice.
6. Top with your mixture of beans and avocado before closing the sandwich.

tips for making this Vegan Avocado sandwich

1. Use ripe avocados. You want to be able to mash the avocadoes easily so make sure that you’re using ones that are ripe.
2. Toast the bread. Soft bread is great but toasting it works really well, too, and might help it stay extra sturdy with the white bean dip
3. Change up the greens. Arugula is a favorite but adding lettuce, spinach or kale works as well.
4. Mash to the texture that you like. The avocado portion will get nice and creamy but adding in the beans means that there will be larger lumps of beans. A fork works well or a potato masher. For an ultra smooth texture, use a food processor.
