Receta Creamy Avocado and Goats Cheese Sandwiches
I've quite gone off sandwiches. For lunch at work these last few weeks I've just been having some smoked applewood cheese on oatcakes, light laughing cow on ryvita and the occasional baked potato with beans.
On my 5:2 fast days I've been skipping lunch altogether and just putting in some computer time away from the staff room.
It's funny how much my fast days have changed. I used to have breakfast, then a nibble at lunchtime and soup at night, then it changed to ryvita at lunch and a meal at night and now I have just given up on eating completely during the day, opting for a couple of low cal hot chocolates and lots of water during the day and then a proper hearty meal at night.
Sandwiches.
I can't tell you why I've gone off them. I can tell you I get scunnered with things quite easily if I have them too often. That's probably what happened, too many cheese and pickle or cheese and beetroot sandwiches and now I can't bear the thought.
So there I was, day off and staring at a loaf of bread.
This sandwich would have to be a bit special if I was going to enjoy it and as far away from a standard cheese and pickle sandwich as possible.
I looked in the fridge and had a think.
Tender baby spinach (although any salad leaf would do), spring onions, avocado, fresh crumbly goats cheese, balsamic glaze and black pepper.
Mmmmmm! I did it!
