Ingredients
Scale
Green Goddess Sauce
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, grated or pressed
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons tarragon, finely chopped
- Zest and juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Sandwich
- 4 thick slices whole-wheat bread (½ inch thick)
- 1 cup arugula (or watercress)
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced ¼ inch thick
- ⅓ English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- ⅔ cup alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
- Prepare the Green Goddess Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grated garlic, chopped chives, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until all ingredients are blended into a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Spread Sauce on Bread: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of the prepared yogurt-mayo herb sauce on each slice of whole-wheat bread, covering the surface to ensure every bite has flavor.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Take two of the bread slices with the sauce side up. On each slice, layer half of the arugula, slices of fresh mozzarella, thin cucumber slices, and avocado slices. Top these with half of the alfalfa sprouts to add a light crunch and freshness.
- Top and Close: Place the remaining two bread slices on top of the layered ones, sauce side down, creating a closed sandwich. Press gently to secure the layers.
- Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwiches in half diagonally or vertically according to preference. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh textures and flavors at their best.
Notes
- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor in the Green Goddess sauce.
- Whole-wheat bread provides a nutty flavor and hearty texture, but any dense sandwich bread will work.
- To prevent avocado from browning, slice it just before assembly.
- Feel free to substitute arugula with watercress for a slightly different peppery bite.
- This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh as the bread may become soggy if left too long.
