Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ripe avocado peeled and pitted
  • ½ cup fresh parsley leaves
  • ½ cup fresh basil leaves
  • ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • Juice of 1 lemon about 2 tablespoons
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 8 slices whole-grain bread
  • 8 slices mozzarella cheese
  • 1 English cucumber thinly sliced

Method
 

  1. Add the avocado, parsley, basil, cilantro, chives, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper to a food processor or blender.
  2. Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed; set the Green Goddess sauce aside.
  3. Toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
  4. Spread a generous layer of Green Goddess sauce on one side of each toasted bread slice.
  5. On the sauced side of 4 bread slices, layer 2 slices of mozzarella cheese each.
  6. Top the cheese with cucumber slices, followed by thin slices of green or ripe tomato (about ½ tomato per sandwich).
  7. Add a handful of fresh sprouts (about 2 tablespoons per sandwich) and 1-2 leaves of butter lettuce for crunch.
  8. Cap each sandwich with the remaining sauced bread slices, pressing gently to adhere.
  9. Slice the sandwiches in half diagonally and serve immediately for the freshest taste.

Notes

For extra flavor, substitute green tomatoes with ripe heirlooms or add pickled red onion. Use broccoli sprouts for a nutrient boost. Pair with sweet potato fries or fresh fruit like watermelon slices.
