Instructions

Prepare the avocado

Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Pro tip: Ripe avocados will yield slightly to gentle pressure.

Slice the tomatoes

Using a sharp knife, slice the tomatoes thinly.

Pro tip: A serrated knife works well for slicing tomatoes without crushing them.

Toast the bread

Toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.

Pro tip: Toasting adds a nice crunch and prevents the bread from getting soggy.

Assemble the sandwich

Layer the avocado slices on two pieces of toasted bread, followed by the tomato slices.

Pro tip: For extra flavour, add a pinch of salt and pepper on top of the tomatoes.

Finish the sandwich

Top with the remaining slices of toasted bread. Press gently to secure the layers.

Serve

Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Pro tip: For a gourmet touch, serve with a side of mixed greens or chips.
