Avocado, Red Onion, and, Prosciutto Sandwiches Recipe

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

1 cup thinly sliced red onion

1 tablespoon mayonnaise

2 slices (4 to 4 1/2 in. square) whole wheat bread, toasted

4 slices prosciutto (2 oz. total)

1 firm-ripe avocado (1/2 lb.), pitted, peeled, and thickly sliced

Salt and pepper

Step 1

In a 1- to 2-quart pan over high heat, bring 1 cup water and the sugar to a boil. Add vinegar and onions, and stir occasionally until boiling again. Remove from heat and let cool, about 30 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, spread mayonnaise on toast and set each slice, mayonnaise side up, on a plate. Arrange half the prosciutto, then half the avocado, on each slice of toast.

Step 3

Drain onions well and mound half on each open-faced sandwich. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Eat with a knife and fork.
