Provided by HeatherFeather

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 5m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 slices rye bread (or a round sandwich roll)
2 -4 slices cucumbers
2 -4 slices beefsteak tomatoes (or other large ripe tomato)
2 slices red onions
1/2 avocado, peeled and thinly sliced
lemon juice
alfalfa sprout (optional)
2 teaspoons honey mustard, to taste,or honey mustard salad dressing
1 -2 leaf green leaf lettuce

Steps:

  • Lightly toast bread or roll.
  • Toss avocado slices with a tiny bit of lemon juice to keep from getting brown.
  • Spread some of the honey mustard on the bread.
  • Place lettuce on bread, followed by tomato slices, cucumbers, red onion, and avocado slices.
  • Drizzle remaining honey mustard over the vegetables.
  • Top with sprouts and close up sandwich, securing with a toothpick.
  • Note: To make honey mustard, combine honey and prepared yellow mustard together to taste.
  • To make honey mustard salad dressing, simply add a little mayonnaise to the same mixture and thin with a tiny bit of milk if needed, to suit your taste.
  • Of course, both honey mustard and honey mustard salad dressings are now sold in stores if you prefer to use ready made.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This is key to making a great salad. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you press them.
  • Use a variety of cucumbers. This will add different flavors and textures to your salad. Try using English cucumbers, Persian cucumbers, or even Japanese cucumbers.
  • Don't overdress the salad. A little bit of lemon vinaigrette goes a long way. You don't want to overwhelm the flavors of the vegetables.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This is best enjoyed fresh. The longer it sits, the more the vegetables will wilt and lose their flavor.

Conclusion:

This tomato, cucumber, and avocado salad with lemon vinaigrette is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
