AVOCADO AND VEGGIE SANDWICHES

Avocados are not exactly a substitute for deli meat, but with their heart healthy fat, they are a satisfiying alternative.  They also are practically sodium free, unlike sodium laden deli meats, including even the "natural" ones.  We love sandwiches and this has been a quickly prepared lunch for us on many busy days.  

For each sandwich:

1/3 avocado, thinly sliced

Any or all of the following raw veggies:

spinach leaves

thinly sliced onion or red onion

thinly sliced bell peppers

thinly sliced cucumber

sliced tomato

2 slices whole grain bread

light or vegan mayo*

wasabi sauce or mustard**

Spread mayo on one slice of bread and wasabi sauce or mustard on the other slice.  Layer avocado and veggies on bread.

*We like Hellman's canola mayo.  It has no saturated fat and only 40 calories/tablespoon.

**Wasabi sauce has half or less than half the sodium of most mustards.
