    Toast bread if making a sandwich, or tear lettuce for salad.

    For sandwich : In a separate bowl add mashed avocado, mayonnaise, seasoning of choice. I like, Pele's Fire Sea Salt which contains: Sea Salt, Ground Chili, Peppers, Cayenne, Smoked Paprika. Gives the green mayonnaise a little kick. Combine all and spread on each piece of toast.
