Tips
- Always use fresh, ripe ingredients to maximize flavor and nutrition.
- Toast your bread to golden brown for that perfect crunch and texture.
- Mash the avocado just before assembling to prevent browning and maintain freshness.
- Use a sharp knife to slice vegetables thinly for even distribution and better sandwich structure.
- Press the sandwich gently after assembly to help all ingredients meld together.
- If preparing in advance, keep wet ingredients (tomatoes, cucumbers) separate until just before serving to prevent bread from getting soggy.
- Experiment with additional herbs like basil or cilantro to add extra flavor dimensions.
