  • 2 tablespoons basil pesto like Rana’s fresh basil pesto
  • 1 tablespoon mayo like Best Foods/Hellmann's
  • 1/2 teaspoon Sriracha
  • 1/4 cup lightly packed baby spinach
  • 10 very thinly sliced red onion strips
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha. Adjust the amount of Sriracha to your spice preference.
  2. Carefully cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice the avocado into thin pieces and set them aside.
  3. For added texture, you may toast the hearty wheat bread until golden brown. This step is optional.
  4. Spread a generous amount of basil pesto on one slice of the bread and the spicy mayo on the other.
  5. On the pesto side, layer the baby spinach, sliced avocado, thin strips of red onion, crumbled feta cheese, slices of tomato, and roasted red bell pepper.
  6. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the veggies to enhance their flavors.
  7. Place the second slice of bread, mayo side down, on top of your delicious layers. Press down gently to hold everything together.

Notes

  • Ensure your bread is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
  • Choose ripe avocados for the creamiest consistency.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your spice tolerance.
  • Let your sandwich sit for a few minutes before cutting to help it hold together better.
