You can make this quick sandwich even more quickly by using store-bought hummus in place of the smashed white beans.Hands-on time: 20 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
2 15-ounce cans white beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
12 slices multigrain bread
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 cucumber, preferably hothouse (seedless), thinly sliced (peeled, if desired)
1 4- to 5-ounce container sprouts (such as alfalfa, radish, broccoli, or a combination)
2 avocados, pitted and thinly sliced
Preparation
In a medium bowl, combine the beans, oil, salt, and pepper. Roughly mash the mixture with the back of a fork. Place 8 of the bread slices on a work surface. Divide the mashed beans among the slices.

Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Slice each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve.
