AVOCADO TZATZIKI SANDWICH WITH RADISH AND BLACK PEPPER

By

Avocado-Tzatziki-Sandwich-with-Radish-and-Black-Pepper-DIYBITES

So I opened my fridge, made eye contact with this avocado and he was totally giving me the “put me into a sandwich” look 👀 ✨. And I did. Aaaaand it was pretty much heaven, probably because of the freshly baked bread I got 15 minutes before, and the mix of flavors that almost brought a couple of tears to my eyes.

I used whole wheat mini baguettes for the sandwich, and I would recommend (based on my personal preferences) using a crusty bread. It just makes a better match with the tzatziki and avocado combo. But hey, you can use whatever bread you like the most or whatever bread you have at home. However, if you use sliced bread, toast it for a couple of minutes before using it for the sandwich 👌. If you don’t have one of your own, check out my tzatziki recipe here. It’s SO simple and tastes way better than the store-bought ones. #ikidyounot 😋
