My avocado sandwich is so good!
I’m a big fan of veggie-only sandwiches. Like, 9 times out of 10, I’ll skip the meat completely. This avocado sandwich is one of my go-to combos. It’s got avocado, crisp cucumbers, tomatoes, a little bite from red onion, and some salty feta to round it out.
This avocado sandwich comes together fast and hits that balance of fresh and filling. I’ll make this for lunch when I’m short on time but still want something that tastes good and feels good. It’s simple, but the textures and flavors make it feel like more than just a veggie sandwich.
Happy Cooking!

Avocado Sandwich Ingredients
- Avocado: Try to find an avocado that’s ripe enough and mushy to the touch! It should be easy to smash with a fork.
- Seasoning: I usually stick with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, but feel free to add in any other favorite spices or seasonings as well.
- Lemon juice: I prefer fresh lemon juice over bottled for the best flavor, but either will do!
- Bread: Any type of bread will work, but make sure you pick something sturdy enough to hold up your sandwich. You can also swap in a tortilla and make it a wrap!
- Feta cheese: I love feta, but goat cheese will work, too.
- Sandwich Toppings: I usually use tomato, cucumber, red onion, alfalfa sprouts, and arugula on this avocado sandwich, but feel free to add in any other fresh produce you like! Bibb lettuce and scallions will also be delicious here.
- Mustard: Dijon mustard is a sandwich must for me, but you can try wholegrain or yellow mustard instead for a more subtle flavor.

Recipe Tips
- Spread your avocado and mustard to the edges of the bread. I hate dry, boring pieces of bread in a sandwich! Spreading your wet ingredients all the way to the edges of your bread will help you avoid those bits.
- Toast your bread. Lightly toasted bread will add a little more texture and flavor to each bite (plus, it’ll make your bread even sturdier when it comes to holding all of your ingredients in place).
Comments
Nice combination of ingredients. Was flavorful enough, didn’t put the mustard
Glad you enjoyed it.
yummy and delicious
Thank you!
I absolutely love this sandwich filling and I will make it again and again. I added a teaspoon of Dijon mustard to spice it up and the result was delicious.
I had it with toasted sourdough layered with rocket.
So happy to hear that, Pam!
