Description

A fresh and nutritious Avocado White Bean Sandwich perfect for a quick and healthy meal. Creamy mashed avocado combined with tender white beans, zesty lime, and a hint of garlic creates a flavorful spread, layered with crisp arugula on whole grain bread. Ready in just 10 minutes, this sandwich is ideal for a satisfying vegetarian lunch or snack.

Ingredients

Sandwich Spread

  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lime (zested and juiced)
  • 15 ounce can white beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 2 tablespoons red onions (chopped)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Assembly

  • 1 cup arugula (or other greens)
  • 4 slices whole grain bread

Instructions

  1. Mash the avocado and lime: Place the avocado, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice, and lime zest in a bowl. Use a fork to mash everything together until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add white beans and season: Add the rinsed and drained white beans to the mashed avocado mixture. Use the fork to mash the beans into the avocado until about half the beans are broken down but some texture remains. Stir in the chopped red onions, then season with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Lay out two slices of whole grain bread and evenly distribute the arugula on top of each slice. Spread the avocado and white bean mixture over the arugula layers, then place the remaining slices of bread on top to form two sandwiches. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice and zest to enhance the bright flavor of the spread.
  • For added protein, consider adding a slice of cheese or smoked turkey if not vegetarian.
  • Serve immediately to prevent the avocado from browning. If storing, tightly wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Substitute arugula with spinach, kale, or other preferred greens.
  • Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrients, but any bread type can be used.
