Mashed Avocado Finger Sandwiches
Description
This simple recipe mashes diced ripe avocados with finely chopped herbs, lime or lemon juice, tahini, and sea salt to taste, leaving the avocado mixture somewhat chunky for texture. The spread is applied to crustless square pieces of whole grain or gluten-free bread. A slice of thin cucumber and a few sprouts are layered on top before covering with the second bread piece, producing easy-to-eat finger sandwiches with balanced creaminess and crunch.
The sandwiches are suited for casual gatherings, light lunches, or tea-time snacks. The tahini adds subtle nuttiness, while lime juice keeps the avocado bright and reduces browning. Their small size makes them convenient for serving appetizers or packed meals.
Ingredients
- 3 avocado peeled and diced, large, ripe
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs finely chopped, to 1/3 cup
- 2 tablespoons lime juice or lemon juice, fresh
- 2 tablespoon tahini
- 1/4 teaspoon salt to taste, sea salt
- 8 pieces sandwich bread crusts removed, gluten-free or whole grain
- ½ cucumber thinly sliced (16 slices, medium
- 1 sprouts or microgreens, carton
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients for the mashed avocado to a mixing bowl and use a fork to mash everything together to desired texture (I leave the mixture fairly chunky).
- Cut the crusts off of 8 slices of whole grain bread (or bread of choice) and chop each slice into 4 equally-sized squares. Make finger sandwiches by spreading 1-2 tablespoons of the mashed avocado mixture on half of the bread squares. Top with one slice of cucumber, sprouts, and place the remaining slices of bread on top. Serve and enjoy!
