# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The herb spread tastes like a garden in the best way possible, bright and alive without being bitter.
  • Every bite delivers a different texture and temperature contrast that keeps things interesting.
  • It comes together in 20 minutes but tastes like you actually tried.
02 -
  • Don't skip the lemon juice in the spread; it prevents the avocado and herbs from turning brown and keeps the flavor bright.
  • If your spread seems too thick, a spoonful of water or extra lemon juice fixes it instantly.
03 -
  • Make the spread up to a day ahead and store it in the fridge; the flavors actually get better as they mingle together.
  • Assemble the sandwich no more than 15 minutes before eating so the bread doesn't start to absorb moisture from the vegetables.
