  3. Prepare your bread, choosing from whole grain, sourdough, or gluten-free, and toast for 3-5 minutes until golden.
  4. Spread the creamy avocado-white bean mixture onto one slice of the prepared bread.
  5. Layer with refreshing cucumber slices, vibrant carrot ribbons, and fresh greens.
  6. Place the second slice of bread on top, gently pressing down.
  7. Slice in half and enjoy immediately, or store for later.
