Simple and delicious recipe for an Avocado Cheese Sandwich:
Ingredients:

- A handful of fresh spinach or lettuce leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice, red pepper flakes, or your favorite herbs for added flavor
Instructions:
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
