Directions
Step 1
Start by toasting the slices of whole grain bread lightly, if desired, for added texture and flavor.

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, then mash until smooth but slightly chunky.
Step 3
Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly.
Step 4
Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds.
Step 5
Slice the tomato into thin rounds as well.
Step 6
Spread a thin layer of hummus on one side of each slice of bread.
Step 7
On half of the bread slices, spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado mixture over the hummus layer.
Step 8
Top the avocado with a handful of spinach leaves, followed by a layer of cucumber slices, and a layer of tomato slices.
Step 9
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the vegetables for added heart-healthy fats.
Step 10
Place the second slice of bread on top of each prepared sandwich, hummus side down. Press gently to hold the layers together.
Step 11
Slice each sandwich diagonally if desired, and serve immediately.
