Our go-to quick & easy Avocado Sandwich piled high with fresh veggies, sprouts, and creamy mashed avocado. Add baked tofu or tempeh for a protein boost!
I’ve been making this easy (5-10 minute!) sandwich for years. I always figured it was a bit too simple to post on the site. But hey… simple is what we do here, so here goes 🙂 What makes this sandwich special (plus delicious) is the combo of mashed avocado on one half, and mustard or hummus on the other. Not only are they both really flavorful, but also act as a helpful “glue” keeping the veggies in place.
I often add thin slices of savory baked tofu as well which adds awesome flavor and a protein boost. Or you can change it up with some vegan mayo or cheese (big fan of the Follow Your Heart brand – they’ve got some pretty tasty options!) No matter how you like to stack it, these are always a great, classic choice for on-the-go lunches, picnics, and quick meals at home. Hope you enjoy as well!

What kind of bread do you use ?
Hi Alyssa! Sorry for the delay in my response! I try to find local organic bread if possible, but also love the "Dave's Killer Bread" brand (which I believe is pictured here – their Organic Good Seed bread) 🙂 Wishing you a beautiful week! -Kaitlin
What is the white grass stuff? And would it taste good with regular non-vegan mayo?
Hi! They’re clover sprouts – light, crisp, delicious and I love sprouting them at home 🙂 (And yes, this will work with any mayo or your other favorite spread like hummus, etc.) Hope you enjoy!
