Avocado Sandwich

Bursting with bright pickled onions, lots of greens, and a creamy, lemony edamame spread, this avocado sandwich is a must-try lunch recipe!

This avocado sandwich is the ULTIMATE vegetarian sandwich. Yep, I said it. I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly had my fair share of disappointing veggie sandwiches. They’re bland, boring, and not at all filling. Not the case here! This avocado sandwich is jam-packed with flavor and texture, and it’s guaranteed to keep you full till dinnertime. I’m obsessed with it, and I think you will be too!

Aside from the avocado, the key ingredient here is a lemon edamame spread. It’s super creamy and bright, and it packs this sandwich with plant-based protein. Along with the other fresh fixings in this recipe, it makes this avocado sandwich a perfect balanced lunch.

Avocado Sandwich Fixings

Ready to make this avocado sandwich? Here’s what you’ll need:

• Avocado slices – It couldn’t be an avocado sandwich without them!
• Lemon edamame spread – Made with cilantro and green onion, it makes this sandwich super fresh, yet hearty at the same time. It will keep for 4 to 5 days in the fridge, so it’s a great component to make ahead and keep on hand for avocado sandwiches all week!
• Cucumber slices – They add the perfect crunch.
• Greens – Arugula and microgreens make this sandwich a veritable green machine!
• Pickled red onion – My go-to ingredient for giving anything a bright pop of flavor.

Slather your favorite grainy bread with the lemon edamame spread, and layer on the cucumbers, avocado, greens, and pickled onions. Then, enjoy!

I love this recipe as written, but like all sandwich recipes, it’s super flexible. If you don’t have one of the ingredients, skip it, or swap in what you do have. Use radishes instead of cucumbers, or replace the arugula and microgreens with baby lettuces, spinach, or alfalfa sprouts. Instead of making the lemon edamame spread, slather your sandwich with pesto, hummus, or tzatziki. The options are endless! Have fun making this sandwich your own.

Avocado Sandwich Serving Suggestions

This avocado sandwich is best right after it’s made, as the avocado starts to brown once it’s cut open. If you want to get ahead, prep the other components in advance – slice the cucumbers, make the pickled onions, blend up the edamame spread, etc. Then, slice the avocado and layer everything together right before you eat (or a few hours before you eat if you’re packing it for lunch).
