Ingredients

• 1 avocado, halved, pit removed
• ½ cup (85 grams) minced seedless cucumber (about ¼ of an English cucumber)
• 1½ teaspoons rice vinegar
• ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• Pinch of salt 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Split your bread into top and bottom halves, and toast the halves. Arrange slices of, or mash, half your avocado on each toasted baguette half. Stir together the cucumber, vinegar, sesame oil, and salt. Dollop half the cucumber salad on top of each bread half. Sprinkle with mixture of seeds, if using. Adjust seasonings to taste—I often find that I want a few more drops of rice vinegar, or another pinch of salt. Eat immediately.
