My favorite Greek salad ingredients sandwiched between layers of bread smothered with avocado and pesto. A quick, satisfying vegetarian lunch (vegan if you use cheese-free pesto). Recipe yields 1 sandwich so multiply as necessary.

Simple Greek Avocado Sandwich

whole wheat bread

avocado

basil pesto

red bell pepper (jarred is fine)

cucumber, sliced into thin rounds

red onion

kalamata olives, thinly sliced

spring mix

balsamic reduction balsamic vinegar

Pit and peel the avocado half and mash it with a fork. Use a butter knife to spread avocado on one slice of bread. Spread a layer of pesto on the other slice of bread.

Top the avocado bread with a single layer of roasted red bell pepper. Then add a layer of cucumber slices, red onion, olives and spring mix. Use a spoon to sprinkle some balsamic reduction over the lettuce. Place the pesto slice on top, pesto side down.

This was amazing and simple. I went a little off script and added fried prosciutto with melted mozzarella. I also did fresh basil and bell pepper instead of pesto. Thanks for the recipe!

I wonder if there is a sandwich lover's fan club. If there is, I nominate myself as president. I. LOVE. Sandwiches. Probably too much. And I love Greek salad so I'd undoubtedly love this!

A favorite of mine is this one that I make that is pretty healthy and so satisfying:

First I make an artichoke heart spread using: [obviously]  'choke hearts, roasted garlic, a bit of fresh grated parmesan, olive oil, salt and pepper. Then I spread that GENEROUSLY onto a slice of bread [Ezekial, or home-made foccacia or challah] and pile on a leafy green veg, such as kale or collards that sometimes I'll sauté in EVOO first. Then I shave some chunks of parmesan onto that and top with the other slice of bread. Drizzle with EVOO and put that into a panini press until everything is hot and oozing. Finally, I drizzle some raw honey on top. Sure its sticky and messy, but it is sooo worth it!

This is so weird. I got this sandwich for lunch and just spent an evening looking for that recipe!  And was just about to give up when I decided to check my Bloglovin! And guess what?! My sandwich was staring at me!! Haha

This was an awesome lunch for work today. Thanks Kate :)

That sandwich is fabulous! It's easy, tasty and makes my breakfast classy! Thank you for that recipe! :)

Looks amazing! I will try this one. My favorite sandwich is Hummus, tomato, green onion, ground red pepper sprinkled, and spinach on Ezekiel bread. (from Happy Herbivore.)

Hi there! I was desperately searching for a good sandwich recipe for my lunch, and I knew that I wanted avocado on it, but I couldn't find the right one (oh, the plight of a hungry teenage girl!) until I stumbled upon your website! This is easily one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. It was so delicious and fresh, and it really hit the spot- it's 90 degrees here in Cleveland! I didn't have any roasted red peppers, but I did have roasted red pepper and basil pesto, so I killed two birds with one stone there. I will definitely make this again, it's my new favorite! Thanks for sharing! :)

I tried this tonight partly because I wanted to use the fresh bread I had and I also had fresh pesto and an avocado on hand. 

It turned out very well. Also it opened my eyes to all the vegetables one can use for sandwiches.

Thanks!

I like this colorful combination of ingredients. It is not very Greek except for the calamita olives. Add feta cheese and Salonika peppers and fold it into Pita bread and then it is an homage.
Add anchovies if you like and oregano. Anyway your fresh ingredients win me over. Thanks.

This recipe has the perfect ingredients. Thank you! A favourite of mine is a very simple sandwich with ciabatta. Sprinkle with olive oil, and add a large handful of lovage. Hard to believe how delicious that can be! I also like sandwiches with slices of mushroom pâté (made with potobellos, pecans, green onions, tamari and rosemary, put raw in a blender, and baked). Another idea: a good ratatouille sandwich, again with crusty bread. In Provence, they make pan bagna, which is delicious, and can easily be "vegetarianized". I hope you enjoy these ideas. Let me know if you want precise recipes, and feel free to share.

This is my favorite vegetarian sandwich! It takes me right back to a beach on Crete I visited as a child where the local beach cafeteria made something similar.
I add feta and sometimes tomatoes, and I use fresh bell pepper instead of roasted because those are expensive in Denmark, hehe.
Thanks for the recipe! :)

This was amazing and simple. I went a little off script and added fried prosciutto with melted mozzarella.

Truly delicious!! So easy to make and will definitely keep this one as a regular!! Thank you
