# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 10 minutes, which means you can actually enjoy it before running out the door.
  • The texture contrast—creamy avocado, snappy apple, crunchy seeds—keeps every bite interesting and satisfying.
  • It's naturally dairy-free and vegetarian, but nobody will notice because it tastes too good to count calories.
02 -
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe, don't force it—use one that gives just slightly under thumb pressure, otherwise you'll be fighting with lumps instead of spreading clouds.
  • Slice your apple right before assembling, because even a few minutes of air exposure starts to turn the cut edges brownish, which looks less appetizing than it tastes.
03 -
  • Buy your avocado a day or two before you plan to make this so you're not hunting for one that's ripe enough—it's worth the planning.
  • Toast your bread slightly less than you think you need to, since it will continue firming up slightly once you add the toppings.
