Ingredients
- 2 large Ripe avocados
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 0.5 small Lemon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
Directions
Step 1
Gather all ingredients and ensure they are fresh and ripe, especially the avocados.
Step 2
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Using a fork, mash the avocado until it's mostly smooth with a few small chunks remaining.
Step 3
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the mashed avocado to add flavor and prevent browning. Add the salt and black pepper, then mix until well combined. Set aside.
Step 4
Thinly slice the tomato, cucumber, and red onion. Rinse and pat dry the lettuce leaves.
Step 5
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. If desired, lightly toast them in a toaster or on a skillet for a couple of minutes on each side.
Step 6
Spread a generous amount of the mashed avocado mixture on two slices of the bread.
Step 7
Place two lettuce leaves on top of the avocado spread on each slice of bread.
Step 8
Layer the tomato, cucumber, and red onion slices over the lettuce.
Step 9
Place fresh basil leaves on top of the vegetables for added aroma and taste.
Step 10
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Step 11
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top slice of bread if desired for extra richness.
Step 12
Slice each sandwich in half diagonally using a sharp knife and serve immediately.
