What are chia seeds

Chia seeds are tiny edible seeds that are oval in shape and gray with black and white spots. They are sprinkled or ground up like black pepper on top of other food.

Variations

Now's the perfect opportunity to clean out your refrigerator by using up any leftover vegetables.

• Substitute the cherry tomatoes with roma or whatever type of tomato you have.
• Red onion can be substituted with shallot or any type of onion you have.
• You may eliminate the chia seeds, if not desired.

Tips

For an extra burst of flavor, ensure to use fresh, crisp vegetables.

Avoid overripe avocado. Choose firm ones that yield to gentle pressure.

Toast the bread before assembling your sandwich.

Prepare just enough for one serving, as bread can become soggy and avocado can discolor.
