Radish Avocado Open Faced Sandwich

The radish is one of those things I never really know what do with. I roast them, slice them for crudités or salad extras...but the star of a main dish? I found this great open-faced sandwich recipe on Martha Stewart. I made it the other day for lunch and many more times since. The radish and lemon are bright and refreshing, the avo buttery and meaty. It also manages to stretch a few radishes and a little bit of avo into a full meal.

INGREDIENTS

avocado sliced (so it lays on the bread properly without wriggling around like slippery fish)

radishes super thinly sliced

olive oil

lemon juice

lemon zest

salt

pepper

bread toasted; I use Food For Life brown rice bread and pick it up at Trader Joe's

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Toss the radishes with everything (except the bread, of course). Do the same with the avocado in a separate bowl. Season to taste.
2. Pile the avo on the toasted bread, then the radishes. Finish with some zest.

If you want to bring this to work, just keep the radishes and avo separate until you assemble the meal. Enjoy!
