Avocado White Bean Sandwich
Description
In this sandwich, ripe avocado is mashed with white beans, olive oil, fresh lime juice and zest, and red onion for a creamy, tangy filling with a subtle hint of garlic powder. The white beans add protein and body to the spread, enhancing its texture beyond plain avocado. Seasoning with salt and pepper rounds out the flavor, and the mixture is spread over whole grain bread slices.
Adding a layer of fresh arugula provides a peppery bite and crisp texture that complements the softness of the avocado and beans. The sandwich is assembled simply by placing the mixture and greens between bread slices and slicing in half.
This sandwich is quick to prepare and can be prepped ahead by combining ingredients an hour or two in advance. It serves well as a straightforward vegetarian lunch or light meal option with fresh, clean flavors.
