This quick & easy Avocado Veggie Sandwich is piled high with fresh vegetables, sprouts, and creamy mashed avocado. Customize as desired or add baked tofu or tempeh for more protein!
This easy (5-10 minute) avocado sandwich is a lunchtime favorite. What makes this sandwich special is the combination of:
- Mashed avocado on one half
- Mustard or hummus on the other half
Not only do they both add tasty flavor, but also act as a helpful "glue" keeping the veggies in place.
Ingredients for Avocado Sandwich
For this recipe you will need:
- Your favorite bread: I use organic whole grain bread when possible.
- Avocado
- Roma tomato
- Red onion
- Cucumber
- Fresh baby spinach
- Hummus: Or mustard or other creamy sandwich spread.
- Clover or alfalfa sprouts: Optional, but I really enjoy this addition!

Make it just the way you like it, or add other ingredients such as:
- Thin slices of savory baked tofu or tempeh
- Vegan mayo (or your own favorite sandwich spread)

Food for Dissertating
This was surprisingly delightful! I wrote about how you inspired me today on my own blog. I used alfalfa sprouts, and for some reason forgot to put in the onion, but it was delicious enough I made it more than once. The next time I put in onions that I'd forgotten and subbed a lemon tahini dressing in for the hummus. I tried adding some tofu steaks cut thinly one day, too. This is a winner, and so easy. Thanks for giving me ideas. Without you I probably never would have eaten sprouts.

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.
Kaitlin McGinn
Awesome to hear! Great idea adding oregano.
Richa Bhatnagar
I'm planning to make this today for breakfast. What about seasonings? Also how about cheese as an addition. Or its not required?
Kaitlin McGinn
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!

What is the white grass stuff? And would it taste good with regular non-vegan mayo?
Kaitlin McGinn
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!
