White Bean & Avocado Sandwich

Lunch

White beans mash seamlessly into a creamy protein-packed spread for a satisfying healthy sandwich that makes for an easy lunch or dinner. Mix it up by trying it with canned chickpeas or black beans. This vegetarian sandwich recipe is also a fiber superstar: avocado, beans, greens and whole-wheat bread team up to give it 15 grams of fiber, more than half of what most women should aim for in a day.

Ingredients

2 medium avocados
1 (15 ounce) can white beans, rinsed
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, grated
¼ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
8 slices whole-wheat bread, toasted
1 cup chopped jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed
8 thin slices sharp Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
4 cups baby lettuce

Description

Mash avocados, beans, lemon juice, oil, garlic, thyme and pepper in a medium bowl until well combined but still slightly chunky. Divide among 4 slices of bread (1/2 cup each). Top each sandwich with 1/4 cup red peppers, 2 slices cheese, 1 cup lettuce and the remaining bread.
