CUCUMBER-AVOCADO TEA SANDWICH

This recipe is courtesy of Anna Marie's Tea Shop.  Those of us at the Pilates Tea last weekend absolutely loved this sandwich
(along with everything else!).  The avocados, cucumbers, and spinach combine wonderfully to create a light and delicious sandwich with a nice bit of crunch.  --Very simple and very tasty!   
You can easily reduce the ingredients to make just one sandwich.  I am going to try this on a hearty whole wheat bread, and I bet it will be just as yummy.

1 (8-oz) package whipped cream cheese ◦1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 ground black pepper
8 slices white bread, crusts removed
1 cup fresh baby spinach, divided
1 English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced, divided
2 avocados, peeled and thinly sliced, divided
1 cup alfalfa sprouts, divided

◦Garnish: cucumber slices and pea tendrils

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, salt, and pepper. Spread about 1 tablespoon cream-cheese mixture onto 1 bread slice.
Layer spinach, cucumber, avocado, and alfalfa sprouts. Top with a second bread slice.
Cut each sandwich into 3 rectangles. Repeat with remaining
cream-cheese mixture, bread, and vegetables. Garnish with
cucumber slices and pea tendrils, if desired. Serve immediately.

TOASTED "GUAMMUS" SANDWICH

This recipe is based on a sub sandwich I had while on vacation in Colorado. (The odd name refers to the combination of guacamole & hummus.) It was really yummy...

Whole grain bun or baguette
Guacamole or sliced avocado
Red pepper hummus
Sliced cucumber
Sliced red onion
Sliced black olives
Sliced tomatoes
Shredded lettuce
Sliced dill pickles
1 slice Pepper Jack cheese
1/2 tsp olive oil (optional)
1/2 tsp red wine vinegar (optional)
Garlic salt (optional)
Coarse ground black pepper (optional)

Combine oil & vinegar, if using. (Prepare other ingredients, so that bun will still be warm when you assemble sandwich.) Split and toast bun. Spread hummus on 1 side & guacamole on the other. Layer desired amounts of remaining ingredients inside bun. Drizzle with oil & vinegar, & sprinkle w/garlic salt & pepper, if desired.
