    Green Goodness Sandwich

    Aug 4, 2016 | by Jennifer | Last Updated: Jun 7, 2021

    Jump to Recipe

    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.

      Honestly Jennifer - I had to skip right down to the ingredient list because I need this sandwich. It looks like the best sandwich ever! I adore cucumbers and cheese and pea shoots - all of it! Putting avocado on my list so I can have this sandwich this week - beautiful!

      I can really get into this sandwich, it looks so fresh.
      And in this heat I'll NOT feel guilty making this as our main meal with a nice fruit salad on the side.
      We..... (hubby) .....are totally into meat & potatoes for our meals, nothing wrong with that, but I try to go meatless and lighter for our meals when ever possible. ;-)
      This sandwich is going on my "must-make" list.
      Thanks Jennifer!
      Pinned!

      By the way.....I made your kiwi ice cream twice already and I see it be made again and again and again....LOL!!

        Thanks Dalila and yes, lighter is nice once in a while, especially with this heat! So glad you are enjoying the ice cream, too :) Did you make it with the yellow kiwis or green?

      While I love both your children's suggestions for the name of this sando, I think the name you went with is totally appropriate! Green and oh-so-GOOD! You used some stellar ingredients in here, Jennifer! Sammie perfection! Cheers, friend!
