Seaside Garden Sandwich

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 8 slices sourdough bread
• 1/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise (more or less, as desired)
• 1/4 cup dijon mustard (more or less, as desired)
• 4 romaine lettuce leaves
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1 cucumber, peeled and cut in half and thinly sliced lengthwise
• 1 -2 avocado, peeled and sliced
• 1 (4 ounce) package bean sprouts (i actually prefer alfalfa sprouts (but use either, they're both excellent)

Recipe

• 1 spread mayonnaise and dijon mustard on one side of all 8 slices of bread.
• 2 place a lettuce leaf on four slices of bread, then top with a slice of cheese. then, on top of the cheese, add (in this order) one tomato slice, onion slices, cucumber slices, and avocado slices. top with desired amount of sprouts.
• 3 add the second slice of bread to each sandwich (the mayo-mustard spread side down of course), and slice the sandwiches in half diagonally.
• 4 tip - if the raw onions have too much of a "bite", tame them by rinsing the slices under cold running water or soaking them in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. pat them dry before putting them on your sandwich.
