Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except rolls and lettuce in a medium bowl.
- Slice rolls in half, and toast if desired. Lay lettuce leaves on bottom halves of rolls, and divide chicken salad between them. Place roll tops on sandwich.
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe, but not too soft. Ripe avocados will be slightly soft to the touch and yield to gentle pressure.
- Use good quality bread: The quality of the bread you choose will make a big difference in the final sandwich. Look for a sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings, such as a hearty whole-wheat bread or a sourdough.
- Don't skimp on the fillings: Be generous with the fillings in your avocado sandwich. This is what will give it flavor and substance. Try adding things like bacon, cheese, tomatoes, onions, and sprouts.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a lot of flavor to your avocado sandwich. Try adding things like cilantro, basil, or mint. You can mince the herbs before putting them on your sandwich, or you can leave them whole. Also season with salt, pepper, garlic powder.
- Serve immediately: Avocado sandwiches are best served immediately, as the avocado can start to brown over time. If you're making the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.
Conclusion:
Avocado sandwiches are a delicious and versatile lunch or breakfast option. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be an avocado sandwich that everyone will enjoy.
