Ingredients
Scale
4 slices whole-grain bread, toasted
1 large ripe avocado, sliced
1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, sliced
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Whip up the cream cheese spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with lemon juice, garlic powder, half the chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Beat until smooth and fluffy.
Toast the bread: Toast all four slices of whole-grain bread until golden brown and crispy on both sides using a toaster, skillet, or broiler.
Slice the fresh vegetables: Thinly slice the cucumber, slice and pat dry the tomato, and slice the avocado lengthwise, drizzling it with olive oil and lemon juice to prevent browning.
Assemble the first layer: Spread a generous layer of whipped cream cheese on two slices of toasted bread, covering all the way to the edges.
Layer the veggies: Layer tomato slices, then avocado strips, then cucumber rounds on top of the cream cheese. Season with a pinch of salt and cracked black pepper.
Complete the sandwich: Spread cream cheese on the remaining bread slices and place them cream-cheese-side down on the stack. Scatter remaining chives on top.
Slice and serve: Slice diagonally and serve immediately, enjoying the beautiful presentation and delightful flavors!
Notes
For added protein, consider adding slices of smoked turkey or roasted chickpeas between the layers.
