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. I’m a fan of the Follow Your Heart brand – they’ve got some pretty tasty vegan cheese 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.

A thousand times yes! The hummus/avocado split I absolutely cannot wait to try. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Hope you enjoy 🙂
What kind of bread do you use ?
Hi Alyssa! 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) 🙂
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!
I’m planning to make this today for breakfast. What about seasonings.. also how about cheese as an addition. Or its not required?
Hi Richa! Of course – please feel free to adapt and play around based on your own favorite sandwich additions! Flavored hummus, various cheeses, baked or seasoned tofu, etc. are all wonderful. Would love to hear if you give it a go! 🙂
We used oregano, black pepper and salt along with mozzarella.. cucumber and tomato along with the mashed avocado. Was good. Cheesy. Cucumber did get lost though.
Thank you for the recipe.
Awesome to hear! Great idea adding oregano 🙂
Thank you so much for the Recipe. I shared it on Facebook.
Thanks for sharing, Eddie! Very appreciated.
This is one of the most delicious things I’ve ever tasted. I made it exactly as stated with the addition of alfalfa sprouts.
So great to hear, Susan! Thanks for the kind feedback 🙂
