ingredients for the avocado sandwich

- Dressing – Just some extra virgin olive oil along with lime zest and juice for a creamy and citrus flavor
- Red onions – Chop ’em up to add a crunch to the mix, or skip them and add celery!
- Arugula – You can use other greens as well so add what you’d like.
- Seasonings: Adding a little bit of garlic powder, salt and pepper to your liking!
- Whole grain bread – Toasted or untoasted or try it in a wrap.
how to make a vegan avocado sandwich
- Add the avocado, olive oil, lime juice and lime zest to a bowl. (Make sure that you scoop out all of the ripe avocado so that you’re not missing out on any of that superfood goodness!)
- Mash and mix together until creamy. Using a fork is a great way to mash out and get the avocado mixture nice and smooth.
- Add in the rinsed and drained can of white beans to the same bowl.
- Mash and mix until combined well.
- Put a bit of the arugula on the bread slice.
- Top with your mixture of beans and avocado before closing the sandwich.
tips for making this Vegan Avocado sandwich
- Use ripe avocados. You want to be able to mash the avocadoes easily so make sure that you’re using ones that are ripe.
- Toast the bread. Soft bread is great but toasting it works really well, too, and might help it stay extra sturdy with the white bean dip
- Change up the greens. Arugula is a favorite but adding lettuce, spinach or kale works as well.
- Mash to the texture that you like. The avocado portion will get nice and creamy but adding in the beans means that there will be larger lumps of beans. A fork works well or a potato masher. For an ultra smooth texture, use a food processor.
how do you store the vegetarian avocado sandwich
If you want to make a sandwich ahead of time, add it to an airtight container and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready to eat it, it’ll be ready for you to enjoy.
frequently asked questions
I would say that making it an hour or two ahead of time is fine but any earlier than that and the bread might start to become a little soggy.
Lime juice or a little squirt of lemon juice will help with that! You can add it to the mixture and store and it should keep the avocado from turning colors.
You can use a fork or even a potato masher to smash out those lumps!
This simple mashed avocado sandwich is sure to be a hit! The flavors and texture of this easy sandwich will have everyone in the mood for a picnic! Add to your meal planning menu this week and give it a try. It’s a simple way to get huge flavors with minimal time and effort.

Avocado Bean…where have you been all my life?
So delicious. So easy. So versatile.
Followed main recipe as is but added shredded carrots along with the arugula. I ate with whole wheat tortilla as I am a messy eater 😉 BUT I can also see this as a dip or eaten as a salad. Endless possibilities!
Thank you & my husband thanks you too. It’ll definitely be on rotation.
