This Vegetarian avocado sandwich with mung bean sprouts is a delicious and nutritious sandwich recipe. A must-try recipe if you are looking for healthy breakfast options that are also easy to make. They perfect to be eaten at any time of the day.
Growing up in India, I never got the chance to taste avocado. Though now it's available in a lot of stores and not very expensive too, until the last few years it was either not available in the market or was unaffordable for most of the people. So, my first tryst with avocado was after shifting to Dubai, unfortunately, it was terrible.
The first time I tried it was in an avocado shake, not a great idea as I am not a big fan of milk too. That shake tasted like one very bad medicine which I took as a child so I hated the shake too.
It was so bad that I couldn’t drink more than two sips (the second sip was also taken to give it a benefit of doubt). It left a very bad impression of avocado on me and I didn’t try it again for almost two years.
A few months back I thought of giving another chance to this ingredient as it was hard to ignore so many positive things said about it, all over the internet.
So I started searching for easy avocado recipes as I didn’t want to put in too much effort in preparing a dish when I was not sure about the final output.
Finally, I came up with my own recipe- vegetarian avocado and sprouts sandwich which was so good that I make it in every 10-15 days. Amit also loves it. Today I am sharing the recipe for this sandwich with you all.
Lesson learned – No ingredient is bad, you should know how to use it perfectly.
Ingredients needed and variation suggestions
- Bread: I have normal brown bread here. You can use any bread of your choice like white bread, multi-grain, or whole wheat. Instead of making a sandwich, you can also put this stuffing on a crisp toast.
- Spread: The spread which I have used is eggless mayonnaise which I bought from India but you can use any spread of your choice like Tahini, hummus, mint chutney, muhammara, mango chutney, etc. Just by changing the spread, this sandwich can become vegan.
- Stuffing: In the stuffing, I have used mashed avocado, home-made mung bean sprouts, cucumber, tomatoes, coriander leaves, garlic, lemon juice, green chilies, salt, and pepper. You can use store-bought sprouts of any kind. To bring more variations you can also use boiled sweet corns, bell pepper, onion, parsley, dill, etc.
