Sandwich
Green Goddess Spread
Method
Green Goddess Spread
- 1
Combine herbs and base
In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 2 tablespoons mayonnaise until smooth.
- 2
Add herbs and flavorings
Stir in 1/4 cup packed parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped chives, and 1 tablespoon tarragon or basil (if using). Add 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- 3
Adjust texture and chill
Mix thoroughly. If you prefer a thinner spread, add up to 1 teaspoon water or more lemon juice. Taste and adjust salt/pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to let flavors meld (can make up to 24 hours ahead).

Cook bacon
If bacon is not cooked, cook 6 slices of bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8–10 minutes, turning as needed. Drain on paper towels. (Alternatively use pre-cooked bacon.)
- 5
Toast bread
Lightly toast 4 slices of whole grain bread until golden but still slightly soft, about 2–3 minutes in a toaster or under a broiler.
- 6
Prepare smashed avocado
Halve and pit 1.5 ripe avocados. Scoop the flesh into a bowl and add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper. Use a fork to smash to a chunky but spreadable consistency.

Assemble sandwiches
Spread about 2 tablespoons of the Green Goddess spread evenly on one side of each toasted bread slice (reserve a little for the top if you like). On two slices (bottoms), spread half of the smashed avocado (about 2–3 tablespoons each).

Finish and serve
Spread remaining Green Goddess on the top bread slices, place them over the fillings, press gently, and cut each sandwich in half. Serve immediately. If preparing for later, wrap sandwiches tightly to keep them from drying; add bacon and greens just before serving for best texture.
