Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 2 slices of whole grain bread
Green Goddess Dressing
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
- 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup sprouts (such as alfalfa or radish sprouts)
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, fresh parsley, fresh chives, and minced garlic if using. Mix well until smooth and fully combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then set aside.
- Mash the avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork to your preferred consistency, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
- Spread the dressing: Take the two slices of whole grain bread and spread a generous amount of the Green Goddess dressing over one side of each slice.
- Add mashed avocado: On one slice of bread, evenly spread the mashed avocado over the dressing layer.
- Layer spinach: Place fresh spinach leaves evenly over the avocado for a fresh, crunchy bite.
- Add cucumber and sprouts: Arrange thinly sliced cucumber on top of the spinach, followed by a handful of sprouts, distributing them evenly.
- Sprinkle feta cheese: Crumble feta cheese over the sprouts, adding additional amount if you desire a stronger flavor profile.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, dressing side down, to complete the sandwich.
- Slice for serving: Cut the sandwich diagonally in half for easier handling and a nice presentation.
- Serve or store: Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap in parchment paper for a convenient on-the-go meal.
Notes
- For a vegan alternative, substitute the Greek yogurt and feta cheese with plant-based versions.
- You can add extra protein such as grilled chicken or tofu for a more filling sandwich.
- Adjust the amount of lemon juice in the dressing to balance tartness to your preference.
- Sprouts add a nice crunch; feel free to choose your favorite type or omit if unavailable.
- Whole grain bread adds fiber and nutrition but any sandwich bread you prefer works fine.
- Serve with a side salad or fresh fruit for a complete meal.
