Furthermore, this salad is full of nutrients and a deliciously healthy recipe.

Super Food Salad

Kale, a cruciferous leafy green that is one of the most commonly known super foods and for good reason. Kale is an extremely nutrient dense plant that is apart of the cabbage family. It is among some of the most nutrient dense foods you can eat. Kale is full of iron, in fact it contains more iron per calorie than beef. In addition to the many other health benefits, kale is an excellent source of calcium, vitamin C, vitamin K, and vitamin A.

veggie sandwich

If you love avocado toast or are looking for an easy, delicious, and healthy sandwich recipe, this is the perfect recipe for you! All in all, this toasted veggie guac sandwich is one that you must try, as it is so yummy. We often make these sandwiches several times a week. In fact, anyone who has made this recipe has made it a staple lunch.

veggie sandwich

 This recipe extremely easy to make and is incredibly delicious. It is full of veggies.  With this recipe, you can make enough for your entire family or store the leftover veggies in the fridge for later. Perfect for ready to eat sandwiches the rest of the week.

When making these sandwiches, we also use sprouted, whole grain bread. This being because it is full of the most vitamins and nutrients. All of these veggies are also full of antioxidants and other minerals. The avocados in the guacamole provide a healthy fat that helps the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients absorb into your body, allowing you to get the full benefit of this nutritious sandwich.

Helpful Tips

When sauteing the pepper and onions, use water instead of oil. The oil is completely unnecessary. So, pour just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan, add vegetables and cook. As a result, this makes the recipe oil-free and even healthier!

I use a cast iron griddle to cook the squash and zucchini. These things are so versatile and I use them a ton.
