Avocado Herb Sandwich

OK I have been craving Quinoa lately and went searching for some recipes. Well in the picture above there is a Vegetable Quinoa Pilaf that wasn't really all that good did not make it to the favorites;) But the sandwich by it we really thought was pretty Tasty! So here is the recipe. (And yes I'm still looking for some good quinoa recipes cause I love the taste of quinoa I just don't know of very many ways to use it)

Avocado Herb Sandwich


2 Slices Bread (we just used whole wheat cause that is what we had, would be really good with a multi-grain or maybe one of those that has the sunflower seeds)
1/2 -1 Large Organic Hass Avocado
3 Stems of Fresh Dill (I didn't have fresh so I just sprinkled some dry)
1 Large Green Onion
3 Leaves Basil Leaves (again didn't have fresh just sprinkled some dry but want to try it with the fresh herbs it would be good)
1 Large Organic Tomato
1/2 Cup Arugula Salad Leaves (didn't have these just used some Spring mix)
1/4 Cup Baby Dandelion Leaves (yep picked these in our back yard)
Pinch Celtic Sea Salt
Pinch Black Pepper
1 TB Olive Oil
3 Whole Olives

Start with a thin layer of fresh tomatoes.
Next, pour a light coating of Raw Organic Olive Oil. Then cut up the Avocado.
Next take a fresh green onion leaf and cut it up into little pieces and sprinkle it onto the top of the Avocado. I do this to make sure the onion stays in place. Most of the onion pieces will stick to the oil and avocado. Next grab you Dandelion leaves and tear them in to smaller pieces and place them on the sandwich. I was surprised these were actually good on the sandwich and I think added to the flavor;)
Now take the rest of your leaves and place them on the sandwich. This includes the basil leaves, Arugula, and the Fresh Dill. Lastly take a few olives and thinly slice them and place them in. Now to finish it off, just sprinkle a little sea salt and black pepper.
That's it. This really takes only about 5 minutes at most.
