This prosciutto, tomato, and cheese, and arugula sandwich with avocado lime spread is delicious and easy to make for a filling lunch.
I just LOVE proscuitto and avocado is one of my faves too! I used a fresh garden tomato, right from our own garden that’s bursting with flavor. I made a delicious Easy Creamy Avocado Lime Spread in 3 Min! to put on it. Oh, my! This was a delectable tasting sandwich!

So, then at that very moment, I knew I’d have to blog about it! This sandwich was just looking too good to go not photographed…unnoticed to the world wide web. That just wouldn’t be fair to, well the world! It’s a cross between prosciutto and arugula pizza -and- a Caprese sandwich without the basil. Whatever, you want to call it, it is fabulous! I’d rather eat this sandwich any day over a greasy, fast food low quality burger on the Dollar Menu, if that’s still around.
How to Make the Prosciutto, Tomato, Cheese and Arugula Sandwich with Avocado Spread
This taste of Italy sandwich is comprised of Prosciutto di Parma, mozzarella cheese, crusty Italian bread because to me, there is no other, all of which I bought from Costco, red ripe garden tomatoes, from our own garden and arugula. The Easy Creamy Avocado Lime Spread in 3 Min is made with fresh avocado, fresh lime juice, mayo, garlic powder, salt and pepper. The full recipe is at the bottom of this post.
Using the OXO Avacado 3-in 1 tool makes splitting, pitting and slicing avocados easy and safe.
It’s super easy and quick! It would take more time to sit through the drive thru at lunch time! this sandwich is so much healthier even with the white bread. You can substitute whole grain bread if you choose.
So, I finally did finish the photo shoot and devoured the sandwich! All is good with a full belly of goodness. Then I got out the Play Dough for my son. A happy 3 yr old makes for a happy mommy too. But, Play Dough pieces all over the floor, not so much.
This yummy Prosciutto, Tomato, Cheese and Arugula Sandwich with Avocado Spread only takes minutes to make.

I just started to really like avocados! I haven’t tried them with mayo yet – definitely going to now! This sandwich sounds amazing!
This sandwich essentially includes all my favorite things 🙂 It looks absolutely delicious.
It was cooler here today too. The humidity broke and I could open the windows although I didn’t find out until mid afternoon. My little guy is sick.
Yes, comfort food for sure.
Thanks. It was a nice combination of flavors.
Thanks! I love sandwiches like this.
That’s one tasty looking sandwich. Perfect for lunch.
This looks so good! Fresh prosciutto and veggies are so refreshing.
This would be a perfect sandwich for today – it’s a little cold and overcast (well if low 70’s are cold – it seems cold after how hot it’s been!) and that looks like it’s so packed with flavor and comforting!
