Smashed White Bean and Avocado Club

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2  15-ounce cans white beans, rinsed and drained
• 2  tablespoons  extra-virgin olive oil
• 1/2  teaspoon  kosher salt
• 1/4  teaspoon  black pepper
• 12  slices multigrain bread
• 1  small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1  cucumber, preferably hothouse (seedless), thinly sliced (peeled, if desired)
• 1  4- to 5-ounce container sprouts (such as alfalfa, radish, broccoli, or a combination)
• 2  avocados, pitted and thinly sliced

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the beans, oil, salt, and pepper. Roughly mash the mixture with the back of a fork.

Place 8 of the bread slices on a work surface. Divide the mashed beans among the slices. Top with the onion, cucumber, sprouts, and avocado. Stack the open-faced sandwiches on top of one another, avocado-side up, to make 4 double-decker sandwiches. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Slice each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve.

Tip: You can make this quick sandwich even more quickly by using store-bought hummus in place of the smashed white beans.
