Servings: 1 sandwich
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread see notes
- 1/2 medium avocado
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- ½ tomato sliced (optional)
- 2-3 purple onion slices (optional)
- 1 small handful of arugula or rocket/spinach
- 1 Tablespoon chipotle sauce or spicy mayo or sauce of choice
Instructions
- Begin by making the sauce if you will be using a homemade sauce. If not, mayo works great too.
- Toast the bread slices if you’d like. I prefer them toasted but either way works.
- Mash the avocado half onto one slice of bread and season it with a light sprinkle of salt & pepper. Drizzle the avocado with the balsamic then top with tomato, onion, and a handful of arugula.
- Spread the sauce on the other slice of bread and top the sandwich with the bread, the sauce facing down. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Sauce: There are so many sauce options you can use to make this delicious sandwich but my personal favorites are my homemade chipotle sauce or homemade spicy mayo. If you are not into spice, regular mayo works great too! Pesto is another favorite of mine.
- Bread options: I like this sandwich on wholegrain bread. Sourdough is another delicious option. Any crusty bread is a great choice and presents well. My kids like this sandwich on honey wheat or white toast slices.
- Toast the bread: Toasting the bread adds more flavor and texture and also makes the sandwich more sturdy to hold!
