Avocado, Hummus, and Sprouts Sandwich

This fresh, produce-forward sandwich got high reviews when we last featured it in 2017. The flavor of the tomatoes really makes the difference here, so seek out heirloom tomatoes if possible. (Even better if you can get them from the farmer's market!)

The BLT was great, but it was a BLT and nothing unexpected. The BEANS however were dynamite!! I've already made them again. That vinaigrette is fabulous.

Simple, easy sandwich. I used spinach instead of lettuce. We were not a fan of the green bean vinaigrette.
