# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in 20 minutes with zero cooking, making it perfect for when you want something impressive but won't spend your afternoon in the kitchen.
  • The green goddess spread tastes restaurant-quality but uses ingredients you probably already have, and it works as a dip, salad dressing, or spread for days.
  • It's naturally vegetarian but feels totally satisfying, like you're eating something substantial rather than settling for rabbit food.
02 -
  • If your spread sits too long before assembly, it can separate slightly, so make it fresh or give it a quick stir before spreading.
  • The vegetables will start releasing moisture into the bread after about an hour, so this is a same-day sandwich, not a make-ahead situation.
03 -
  • If your avocado isn't quite ripe when you need it, mash it into the spread rather than trying to slice it, and it'll work just fine.
  • For extra punch without adding bulk, use radish sprouts instead of alfalfa—they have way more personality and a peppery kick that elevates the whole thing.
