ive had this sandwich a very long time ago and it was so good! i just made it again, and unfortunately, i only had regular salad lettuce, and living on an army base in germany, the army grocery stores do not carry the sprouts(which i used to put on almost any sandwich), but it was still amazing! the rest of the avo im going to use to make guac!UPDATE: i forgot to mention, half an avocado is too much for one side of bread, and if you add garlic salt on the avo instead of regular salt with the pepper, it gives it a lot better flavor!

This sandwich was amazing!!! My boyfriend called me on the phone while I was eating it. I raved to him about it and couldn't get off the phone fast enough to finish it (I was quite hungry, lol). I did add mushrooms and spinich, and I substituted a creamy hummus (any flavor could work but I used one with roasted pine nuts) instead of the cream cheese (just to make it a little more healthy- if that's even possible!). I loved the banana peppers. It gave it a mild sweetness compared to all the other flavors. Unfortunately, I was so excited when making it that I forgot the oil and vinegar. Even without, it was delicious. I'll have to remember to add them next time. Great sandwich! Thanks! :)

Surprisingly delicious! I didn't have bean sprouts or pepperoncini. So I just used a red onion instead and put it on wheat toast. Yum!!

This is a great picnic option. I make my cucumber sandwiches more like the British version, using white bread. I also use seasoned rice vinegar for extra flavor. Definitely, serve and enjoy immediately so the bread doesn't get mushy.

Great summer sandwich! We made it for a picnic. It turned out great and was very refreshing after a 20 km-s (12.5 miles) hiking :)

I followed the recipie, but left out the pepperoncini and added red onion. I have never had avocado before, so I was unsure what it was supposed to be like, but I peeled it, mashed some (hope it was supposed to be mushy and gross looking, I thought I might have bought a rotton one) and put it on. It was such a good sandwich! EDIT:second time made it, did the same as above, but also left out the avocado(had none left), and added fresh basil, salt and pepper to the red wine vinegar and oil, and added thin slices of yellow pepper. Awesome!

I always make this for parties and always get requests to make them again. They are good for if you have vegetarian guests. I blend the avocado and cream cheese in a food processor with a dash of salt and lemon juice to make a creamy spread. I still place some on both pieces of bread in order to keep the sandwich sticking together. I've never tried it with the dressing though, but it's still amazing.

We totally loved these...made them when we were camping. Added bacon...it was like a gourmet BLT. My non-veggy eating husband loved it.

I've been trying for years to duplicate a wonderful sandwich I had at a restaurant along the Alcan Hiway. This has to be as good if not better than the one I had. Wonderful flavors! Crunchy and creamy! 5 stars!

This sandwich just doesn't taste like much og anything. I changed so much to make it better that effectively I made a different sandwich. Toasted the bread, used herbed cream cheese, used broccoli sprouts instead of alfalfa, added red onion, used balsamic vinegarette and mustard.

This sandwich didn't have much flavor. It definitely has potential,but needed s&p and a lot more oil and vinegar. I think oregano would have helped too.

Love this sandwich! I usually toast my bread, use light cream cheese, skip the olive oil and slice the avocado instead of mashing. Delightful!

I used to order this sandwich when I worked in San Francisco. They also used 1/2 an avocado and they left it nearly whole! So delicious. My favorite sandwich. When I make it at home I sometimes add sliced radishes or pickles. This is a perfect sandwich!

Mix dried or fresh dill with the cream cheese for extra flavor and add any veggies you want to the sandwich (cucumber, red onion, shredded carrot, lettuce, tomato, etc).

This was an OK sandwich. I made mine on white bread and my husbands on wheat. Wheat is the way to go. The white was just to soft and it got mushy with the Italian dressing I put on instead of the oil and vinegar.
