These last few posts I've been feeling a little decieving to you the readers. My blog is mildly advertised as a healthy food blog, but lately I've been having so much fun baking sweet treats. However, now that it has hit me that I will be in a swimsuit soon, you should be getting a lot more healthy dishes from me...but no promises! :-)
There is absolutely nothing complicated or even original about this sandwich. The only thing special about it is that it's one of my favorites. I LOVE the combination of tomato and avocado, it's healthy, it's light and it's vegetarian friendly. Growing up as a kid I was very stuck on the idea that if it didn't have meat, it wasn't worth eating. But now I have a lot of fun trying new dishes that are meat free and loving them. I'm not a vegetarian, and I have nothing against eating meat, but sometimes it's fun to switch it up for a fresh and clean dish with fewer calories.
The ingredients to this sandwich are pretty much what you see. Bread, tomato, avocado, mayo. But there are a few musts when making it. You must use wheat bread, the wheatier the better. You must toast it, lightly. And you must salt and pepper both your tomato and avocado. And in my case, you must enjoy with some good background music and a Diet Coke!
Here's to a healthy summer!
Also, to my wonderful food friends out there, I'm sorry I haven't been so prompt in commenting. This week has been oddly busy for our family, but I'm very excited to see what you're all up to, so I'll be back very soon!

Teresa, I would love a tomato and avocado sandwich as well. YUMMERS.
Yum, Yum, Yum!!!! Nothing better than an avocado sandwich! I grew up on these! Except my mom made them with Avocado, Alfalfa sprouts, and spread the toast with cream cheese! Honestly, anything with avocado is a winner to me! Slather it on baby!
I would eat this everyday!!!!
I wish I liked sliced tomatoes because I LOVE avocado!
Perfect lunch, dinner. Simplicity at its very best!
Are you kidding me with the orange coffee cake?!? WOW!!! That Paula Deen is trouble. Butter, butter, butter. But so good!! Here's to a healthier summer, and fitting into last year's swimsuit, right?:)
I could even eat this for breakfast (I like lots of pepper on mine). A PERFECT SANDWICH!!

I love avocado sammies. I'd be happy with that alone. Simple, healthy, and extremely delish!

Tomatoes and Avocados go so well together! Your sandwich looks yummy! :)
This is one of my favorite sandwiches, with some red onion and lettuce leaves, it doesn't get much better than that!!
I've been the same way! Too many cheat days!!!! Time to get serious. This sandwich looks great. Simple is best in my opinion! And i second the need for a cold diet coke to round out the meal!
simple and utterly delicious. praise the lord I've now come to friendly terms with avocadoes and can enjoy this quick and delicious sandwich!
Oh I forgot My mom used to put garlic salt on the sandwich in place of table salt YUMMMMMMY!!!
That is totally my kind of sandwich and surprisingly I think four of my five kids would love it too! We'll have to make this for dinner sometime soon.
This is a fantastic sandwich. Tomato and avocado are two of my favorite foods.
Kind of like a BLT with an A instead of the T.
What a tasty sandwich!
I totally understand busy!!! This sandwich looks great - I might have to have cheese though and a Dr. Pepper on the side!!! I'm not the healthiest gal around!!! ;)lol...
Wow! You're using avocados in everything, from breakfasts, to sandwiches, to burgers.
Avocados are amazing. And delicious.
I'll have one hold the tomaotes! :)
