Cucumber Sammies
I am 32 years old and up until we pulled this recipe together I had NEVER had a cucumber sandwich in my life! What the heck right?
I have seriously been missing out! This fully loaded veggie sandwich is the perfect lunch snack! It was actually the Mr who suggested it. We had a great loaf of bread in the house and so much extra veggies we figured why not. I could crush these sandwiches daily.
Ingredients
4 Slices Bread (your choice!)
1/2 Cucumber, sliced
1 Tomato, sliced
1 .5 Cups of Alfalfa Sprouts
1/4 Red Onion, sliced you could even slightly pickle them a little
3-4 Tbsp. Mayo
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions
If you have a panini press we grilled the slices of bread first to get grill marks, then allowed them to cool. We set them aside. We went with a great multi-grain bread loaf … oh man it was so yummy! But it will work with any bread you choose.
Once they have cooled, dress mayo on the insides of all slices of toasted bread, then evenly top 2 slices of bread with tomato slices, red onion slices, then cucumber slices. Add salt & pepper.
Finally add the alfalfa sprouts then top each of the bottom slices with the second pieces of toasted bread.
Cut each of the sandiwches in 1/2 and serve with soup or salad. Perfection for a random afternoon lunch.
