Tips for making this sandwich ahead of time

I recommend storing the components separately to keep the bread from getting soggy. It shouldn't take long to put everything together when your ready to eat.

If you are eager to assemble the sandwich ahead of time, to prevent the bread from getting soggy, place a layer of lettuce between the dressing and the bread. Then pack the sandwich in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in wax paper to keep it fresh.

If adding juicy vegetables like tomatoes, consider packing them separately and adding them just before eating.

Storage:

The green goddess avocado dressing can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days. For a fully assembled sandwich, this can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days but I'd recommend consuming sooner for optimum freshness.
