Instructions

Prepare the Green Goddess Dressing: In a small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, parsley, chives, and minced garlic if using. Stir well until smooth and ingredients are thoroughly blended. Season with salt and pepper to your preference, then set aside.
Mash the Avocado: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash with a fork to your desired consistency, seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
Spread Dressing on Bread: Take the two slices of whole grain bread and spread a generous layer of the Green Goddess dressing on one side of each slice.
Add Mashed Avocado: Evenly spread the mashed avocado over the dressing on one slice of bread.
Layer Fresh Spinach: Place fresh spinach leaves over the mashed avocado layer.
Arrange Cucumber Slices: Add the thinly sliced cucumber on top of the spinach leaves to contribute crunch and freshness.
Add Sprouts: Top the cucumber with a handful of sprouts, such as alfalfa or radish, for extra texture and nutrition.
Sprinkle Feta Cheese: Evenly distribute the crumbled feta cheese over the sprouts, adding extra if you prefer a stronger flavor.
Complete the Sandwich: Place the second slice of bread on top, dressing side down, to close your sandwich neatly.
Serve: Cut the sandwich diagonally for easier handling and an appealing presentation. Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for a convenient meal on the go.

Notes

Use ripe avocado for the best creamy texture and flavor.
Feel free to swap out the sprouts or omit garlic based on preference or dietary restrictions.
This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh but can be wrapped and refrigerated for a few hours if needed.
To add extra protein, consider adding grilled chicken or turkey slices.
Whole grain bread enhances fiber content and provides a nutty flavor complementing the fresh ingredients.
