- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts (or other sprouts)
- 1 medium tomato, sliced
- 1 small handful of fresh spinach leaves

Instructions
- Lay out the two slices of bread on a clean work surface or plate. Spread a generous layer of hummus on one side of each slice.
- On one slice of bread, arrange the avocado slices on top of the hummus. Season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
