Smashed White Bean and Avocado Club
Homegrown Mung Bean sprouts! |

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
black pepper to taste
black pepper to taste
8 slices multigrain bread
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, thinly sliced (peeled, if desired)
1 5-ounce container sprouts (such as alfalfa, radish,
broccoli, mung bean or a combination)
**Or use homegrown sprouts**
avocados, pitted and thinly sliced
Directions
In a medium bowl, combine the beans, oil, salt, and pepper.
Roughly mash the mixture with the back of a fork.
Place 4 of the bread slices on a work surface. Divide the
mashed beans among them. Top with the onion, cucumber, sprouts, and avocado.
Here's where the recipe get's interesting. You can complete the sandwich one of 3 ways.
1. Top with remaining slices of bread (plain).
2. Spread mayo or spicy mustard over remaining slices of bread.
3. Eat open faced (only using 4 pieces of bread instead of 8).
Now, you have a delicious, nutritious meal using homegrown sprouts! (I was so excited to eat this amazing creation that I didn't take a picture.) Enjoy!
