My sister called last week raving about a sandwich she got at a deli in North Carolina. She said it had avocado spread, lettuce, tomato, bean sprouts-all on really good bread. I've been thinking about it ever since! So yesterday, I googled avocado spread, something I've never heard of, and low and behold there were a ton of recipes. Turns out avocado spread is great on sandwiches and also as a dip. I tried the first recipe I clicked on and had a chance to try it out tonight. The recipe called for ranch dressing mix, which I think made the spread way too salty despite the fact that I cut the recommended amount way down. But I think I'm onto something. The real test will come when my sister gets home (on Sunday...can't wait!) so she can help me figure this recipe out. I didn't have bean sprouts, but I used the spread on a sandwich thin topped with lettuce and tomato. It was tasty and the salty taste was subdued a bit by the bread and veggies. I'll keep you posted on my progress in perfecting this recipe.
