Beet + Avocado Sandwiches

 

Roasted beets can be done in advanced and kept on hand for an easy sandwich packed with nourishing flavor. The bacon makes it more like a BLT, but is an entirely optional in our home. Make this gluten-free with your favorite GF bread.

Ingredients

  • 1 beet
  • 1 avocado
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, or your favorite gluten-free bread
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon mustard
  • 1 cup arugula, washed and dried
  • 4 slices bacon, optional

Serving Size: 2 People

Preparation Instructions

Ideally roast the beets in advance. Preheat the oven to 400. Place the trimmed beet(s) in a covered dish with a generous splash of water. (Quick tip: do a bunch of beets at one time and keep on hand for the week.) Once the beet is tender, remove from the oven, cool and peel.

Cut the beet into slices. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice into the flesh of the avocado and scoop out the slices.

Smear the slices of bread with the mayonnaise and mustard. Top each side with the beet and avocado slices. Add the arugula and bacon. Sandwich together and serve.
