Ingredients

• 4 pieces large romaine lettuce leaves
• 1 medium avocado
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 0.5 medium red bell pepper
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 0.5 cup sprouts (alfalfa or broccoli)
• 2 tablespoons vegan mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the romaine lettuce leaves. These will act as the bread replacement, so choose the largest and sturdiest leaves for the base.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mash the avocado with a fork until smooth. Mix in the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create a simple guacamole spread. Set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion, ensuring the slices are uniform for easy assembly.

Step 4

In another small bowl, mix the vegan mayonnaise with Dijon mustard to create a tangy sandwich spread.

Step 5

Lay two romaine lettuce leaves flat on a clean work surface. Spread the avocado mixture across the surface of one of the leaves and the mayo-mustard spread on the other leaf.

Step 6

Layer the cucumber slices, bell pepper strips, red onion slices, and sprouts evenly on top of one of the lettuce leaves with the spreads.

Step 7

Cover the fillings with the second lettuce leaf, spread side down, pressing gently to secure the sandwich.

Step 8

Repeat the process for the second sandwich using the remaining ingredients.

Step 9

Carefully slice the assembled sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Use parchment paper to wrap the sandwich for easier handling, if needed.
