Greek-Yogurt and Vegetable Sandwiches

 


A nutrition-rich combination of yogurt, carrots, walnuts, and avocado is made even more healthful with the addition of sprouts, an excellent source of phytonutrients.

 

Ingredients :

 

  • 2 carrots, peeled
  • 1 ripe, firm avocado
  • 4 slices whole-wheat bread
  • ½ cup plain Greek-style yogurt (2 percent)
  • ⅓ cup walnut pieces, toasted and chopped
  • 1 cup sunflower sprouts
  • 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

 

Method :

 

  1. Grate carrots on the large holes of a box grater. Cut avocado in half lengthwise, and remove pit. Peel and thinly slice.
  2. Spread 2 slices of bread with the yogurt, dividing evenly. Top each with carrots, avocado, walnuts, and sunflower sprouts. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with a pinch each of salt and pepper, and top with remaining slices of bread; serve.
