Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices whole-grain sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 medium cucumber
- 1 medium carrot
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 4 slices cold-smoked turkey slices
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup iceberg lettuce (shredded)
Instructions
Wash and prepare all vegetables. Slice the cucumber thinly and shred the carrot using a box grater.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create your sandwich spread.
Spread cream cheese on one side of two slices of bread. Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture on one side of the remaining two slices.
On the cream cheese-coated bread slices, layer the lettuce leaves, smoked turkey slices, shredded carrots, and cucumber slices evenly.
Top with the shredded iceberg lettuce for added crunch and freshness.
Cover each sandwich with the mayonnaise-mustard-coated bread slices, spread-side down.
Gently press down each sandwich to hold the layers together. Optionally, trim the crusts for a clean, sharp edge.
Slice each sandwich diagonally or into quarters for easy serving.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or refrigerate and enjoy within a few hours for a cool, crisp Chilly Willy Sandwich experience.
