FAQ’s

Can I make an avocado sandwich the night before?

While you can make an avocado sandwich the night before, it’s best that you make it right before eating to ensure the bread doesn’t go soggy. However, if you do need to make it ahead of time though, squeeze lemon juice on the avocado to stop it browning, and add some fillers around it like lettuce or cheese to stop the bread getting soggy.

What cheese compliments avocado?

If you’re looking for a spreadable soft cheese for your avocado sandwich, try cottage cheese, burrata, or cream cheese. If you’re looking for a hard cheese with a bit more bite to it, try Manchego or tasty cheese, or crumbly cheeses like aged cheddar, ricotta and blue cheese. 

What condiments go well with avocado?

Avocado pairs well with a range of condiments, especially if it has a mild flavour. For a little bit of spice, try it with sriracha, chilli flakes or cayenne pepper. For a fresh and light taste, you can also pair it with balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, salt or pepper.
