Avocado Sandwich

This very quick-to-make sandwich is a great healthy way to get your vitamin E for a day as it is the highest ranking fruit source for vitamin E (yes avocado is a fruit).
Also, avocados are one of the best sources of monounsaturated fat, the fat known to lower artery-clogging LDL cholesterol and raise heart-healthy HDL cholesterol.

Ingredients:

- 2 slices of whole grain bread
- 1 avocado
- 1 pinch of sea salt
- 1 tomato

Directions:

Cut each slice of bread in half. You get 4 pieces.
Put half of an avocado on one piece. Do the same for the other.
Add tomato slices on top.
Add a tiny pinch of salt on each.
Cover with remaining pieces of bread.
You have 2 nice little sandwiches!

If you don't feel like having a sandwich you can also just spread half an avocado on each slice of bread and continue the topping process from there.

Variations:

You can add as many things as you can think of:
- Blue cheese on top of the avocado
- A little drop of soyonnaise
- Some freshly sliced mushrooms
