Avocado Lettuce Tomato Sandwich (ALT)

The key to a delicious A.L.T.

The flavor of both avocados and tomatoes shines with the addition of a little sprinkling of salt.

While the bread is toasting, slice your tomato and avocado.

Add a layer of sliced avocado and sprinkle a little kosher salt over it.

Add a layer of lettuce and a layer of sliced tomatoes.

Sprinkle a little salt over the tomatoes too.

Top with the second slice of toasted bread.

Cut the sandwich in half if you want, to make it easier to eat.
