Nothing beats guacamole, nothing. It is the perfect taco topper, appetizer, dip, and can go on top of just about anything. From this delicious (and easy!) toasted vegetable sandwich, to cauliflower walnut tacos, the possibilities are endless.
So what makes this recipe better than store bought or restaurant guacamole? Besides the use of the freshest ingredients, the guacamole contains coriander, which adds a great flavor when used with the other spices. In addition, the coriander adds extra nutrients. This makes this guac not only delicious, but also nutritious. The use of cayenne pepper gives the guacamole an extra kick. Though, if spicy is not your preference, simply omit or use less than called for.
Pro-Tip
An immersion blender, (or hand blender) works perfectly for mashing avocados. It is so much easier than using a fork and allows you to get the perfect texture, whether you like your guacamole more chunky or on the creamier side.
Prepare your guacamole in a stainless steel mixing bowl with an airtight lid for easy access and minimal dishes, win win!

Toasted Vegetable Guacamole 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.
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.
