Reading about avocado sandwiches on the Avocado thread reminded me of this recipe that I've been saving for a hot Summer day. The way our Spring has gone, tho', it may be August before we get around to it.
Disclaimer: I have not tried this recipe. If anyone can either vouch for it or warn me away, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

Chive Spread:
1/4 cup Greek yogurt or mayonnaise (or 2 tablespoons of each)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tomato, cored and chopped
1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and diced (optional)
Squeeze of lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or cilantro

1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
2 to 4 slices pepper jack cheese
To Make the Chive Spread: In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt and chives. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
To Make the Avocado Salad: In a medium bowl, gently toss together the avocado, tomato, cucumber, lime juice and basil or cilantro. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
To Assemble: Spread the chive-yogurt mixture on all four bread slices. Divide the sprouts between two slices of bread, and top with avocado salad and cheese. Cover with the remaining slices of bread.

Hi @IamMrsG
This sounds delicious! I fix a similar sandwich for myself at least twice a week for lunch, but I never thought of adding a bit of lime! Sounds perfect, thank you for sharing this recipe.

What a great summer meal! The humidity and temps sure feel high here in Florida, and this sounds wonderful!
....followed by ice cold watermelon for dessert!
