Green Goodness Sandwich

Hearty, healthy and filling, this is my version of the Green Goddess Sandwich, featuring spinach, avocado, goat cheese, chives, cucumber and sprouts, all between toasted grainy bread.

This week I’m all about the Summer sandwiches, using as much fresh Summer produce as I can fit between two pieces of bread! This sandwich is definitely that and let me tell you, I couldn’t have fit even one more thing in this sandwich!

I debated what to call this sandwich. My daughter the vegetarian, suggested calling it “Go Veg!”. My son, who eats Paleo (only meat and veg/hardly any carbs and dairy), suggested it should be called “A sandwich that would be even better with meat”. Yes, such is my life! Just imagine what it’s like for me to cook a meal for this bunch :)

Anyway, I settled on Green Goodness, because there’s just a lot of green goodness going on between these two slices of multigrain bread.

Cook’s Notes

My sandwich starts with a bit of grainy mustard (or Dijon, if you prefer). Next is a layer of baby spinach, followed by mashed avocado, then goat cheese (with a good bit of pepper), chives, cucumber and sunflower sprouts. The bread is a lovely 12-Grain bread that is toasted. It’s delicious, filling and a pretty guilt-free sandwich.

Makes 2 large sandwiches (or 3 if you make them a little thinner :). The avocado mixture is best used soon after preparing.
