So, I graduated from college, found a job, bought new shoes, and am now considered, at least on my tax forms, “independent”.  Hooray! I am not, however, independent of delicious sandwiches. This soybean is still savvy and I’m not about to drop $20 on a cheese panini every lunch hour. I’ve seen it done. With that, it’s been (ironically) a grade school flashback as I reenter the habit of packing my lunch for work.

This sandwich was created after peering into my fridge only to find a granny smith apple and half an avocado. I realized I liked eating both these things. I also found Dijon mustard and clover honey. Mustard + honey = honey mustard. I liked this too. Reasoning: If I like all these things separately, I’ll probably like them all at once. I crammed my ingredients together between two slices of bread and stepped back to admire my creation. Alas: the green apple avocado sandwich was born.

It really is a fantastic sandwich, not only in taste but texture. The crisp, tart apple complements the buttery avocado, all with a little hot, sweet kick from the honey mustard. It's also good for you, and therefore a very responsible and adult-like thing to eat. High five.

You’ll need:

- ½ large ripe avocado, mushed up
- ½ green apple, thinly sliced
- honey mustard
- bread

Also, because I am now an inventor of sandwiches, here are some acceptable variations:

green apple + avocado + sharp cheddar + wasabi mustard

green apple + avocado + cucumber + radish + hummus

green apple + avocado + red pepper + chèvre
