Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 1 large tomato, sliced
  • Fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread, if you wish, to your liking, but it’s delicious as a cold sandwich.

  4. Wash and dry the basil leaves, and set them aside.
  5. Spread the mashed avocado on one slice of toast.
  6. Place the tomato slices on top of the avocado.
  7. Add a few basil leaves on top of the tomato slices.
  8. If you like, you can add a drizzle of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar on top of the basil leaves.
  9. Cover with the other slice of bread.
  10. Cut the sandwich in half and enjoy!

Equipment

Notes

This sandwich is best served fresh because it will get soggy if it sits around.

If you’re taking this sandwich to go, wrap it in foil or parchment paper to keep it fresh.

Season the avocado before you spread it on the bread so all the flavors are evenly distributed.
