How to Make Avocado Reuben
- Peel and slice 1 ripe avocado into approximately 3-4 slices.
- In a small bowl, gently combine 1/4 cup sauerkraut with 1 tablespoon of your favorite Thousand Island dressing (or a vegan alternative).
- Lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.
- Layer 2 slices of bread. On one slice, place 1 slice of Swiss cheese (or your preferred cheese), 1/4 cup of the sauerkraut mixture, and 3 slices of avocado.

- Carefully place the sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted and slightly gooey. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
