Drescription

This green goddess sandwich is fresh and satisfying. The dressing packs a flavorful punch with capers and lemon juice. The cucumber and sprouts add nice crunch, and the seasoned avocado brings in the creaminess.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup plain whole-milk strained yogurt, such as greek-style
  • ½ cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
  • ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 medium avocado, cut into 8 slices
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 slices hearty whole-wheat bread (1/2-inch)
  • 1 cup watercress or spinach, divided
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber, divided
  • ½ cup alfalfa sprouts, divided

Directions

  1. Combine yogurt, parsley, tarragon, chives, capers, garlic, lemon zest and 2 tablespoons lemon juice in a medium bowl; whisk until well mixed.
  2. Sprinkle avocado evenly with salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  3. Spread 2 heaping tablespoons of the yogurt mixture on each bread slice. Top each of 2 bread slices with 1/2 cup watercress and cucumber, 4 slices avocado and 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts. Top with the remaining 2 bread slices, spread-side down. Cut in half and serve immediately.

We used an air fryer to turn spareribs into a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Separating the ribs helps them to fit in the fryer, cook quickly and get an even, golden crust all over. Make sure you dip them in the warm barbeque sauce immediately after they are done cooking––they'll absorb more flavor while still hot.
