Using avocado in sandwiches

Creamy richness and healthy fats

Avocado adds creaminess, healthy fats, and mild flavor to sandwiches. Mash with a little lemon or lime juice and salt to create a spread, or slice thinly for clean layers. Because avocado browns, add it just before serving or coat lightly with citrus.

Ways to use avocado:

• Mash with lime and salt as a spread in place of mayo.
• Add slices to a turkey and tomato sandwich for creaminess.
• Combine with black beans, corn, and cilantro for a southwest-themed filling.

Tips:

• Use firm but ripe avocados for clean slices.
• Store half an avocado with the pit and a little lemon juice to slow browning.

Avocado pairs well with acidic ingredients and crunchy elements for balanced sandwiches.
