Prosciutto, Tomato, Cheese and Arugula Sandwich with Avocado Spread

I hurried home after picking up the kids today and couldn’t wait to eat lunch. My 3 yr old is asking if he can play with Play Dough and all I can think about is how fast I can feed them so I can eat. Play Dough is so messy…maybe he’ll forget after lunch. Nope, he didn’t. Meanwhile I’m making this yummy looking sandwich with prosciutto, and fresh mozzarella cheese, which is one of my faves.  Then, I cut up a fresh garden tomato, right from our own garden. As if that wasn’t good enough, I made a delicious Easy Creamy Avocado Lime Spread in 3 Min! to put on it. I topped it with arugula and viola! This incredible Prosciutto, Tomato, Cheese and Arugula Sandwich with Avocado Spread was born! 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.
