Ingredients
- 1 avocado (ripe)
- 1-2 tablespoon mayonnaise (however much you like, see step below)
- 2 pieces lettuce (as desired really)
- 2 slices bread
Directions
1
Take the bread and slather some mayo onto what will be the inside of the sandwich. The mayo gives a nice contrast with the avocado, so don't be sparing, but don't be too sparing.2
Slice your avocado in half and remove the good part in slices or chunks, then place over mayo.3
Over the avocado put as much lettuce as desired - this gives the sandwich a crunch that is essential. Then put the second piece of bread on top, cut if desired, and eat!.

This was great. I used toasted 7 grain bread, tomato and bacon. I am so full now. I think Thousand Island dressing would be better than Ranch, but I'll stick to mayo. Thanks.

Fantastic sandwich. I made this as stated but added a nice thick slice of tomato on it as well. Add a little salt and pepper and I'm good to go! Thanks xtickledbluex for posting this winner. It's time to replinish my avocado supply so I can make more of these. I'm going to try Enjolinfam's suggestion of using the Ranch Dressing in place of mayonnaise too. That sounds like a very good variation.

A delicious sandwich, but then how can an avocado sandwich go wrong! I substituted ranch dressing for the mayo on my second sandwich, though the sandwiches tasted great either way! I love avocados and eat them like crazy when they go in season. Made for Spring 2008 PAC.
