Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 slices Whole grain sandwich bread
- 4 slices Turkey breast slices
- 4 slices Ham slices
- 3 slices Dairy-free cheddar cheese slices
- 3 large leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons Dairy-free mayonnaise
- 2 slices Dill pickles
- 0.5 ripe Avocado
- 8 whole Black olives
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by toasting 3 slices of whole grain sandwich bread until golden brown.
Slice the tomato into thin slices and set aside.
Thinly slice the red onion and rinse it under cold water to mellow the flavor; set aside.
Peel and pit the avocado, mash it slightly, and add a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Mix together the Dijon mustard and dairy-free mayonnaise in a small bowl.
Place one toasted bread slice on a clean work surface or plate. Spread a generous layer of the mustard-mayonnaise mixture over this first slice.
Layer 2 slices of turkey, followed by 1 lettuce leaf, and some tomato slices.
Add the second slice of bread on top of this stack. Spread a layer of the avocado mash.
On this second slice, layer 2 slices of ham, 1 slice of dairy-free cheddar cheese, some onion rings, and the remaining lettuce and pickles.
Top with the third slice of bread. Spread the remaining mustard-mayonnaise mixture on this last slice.
Carefully insert a toothpick through each of the four corners of the sandwich to keep it stable as you slice it.
Cut the sandwich diagonally into four quarters.
Garnish each quarter with a black olive skewered onto a toothpick.
Serve immediately and enjoy the layers of creamy, savory, and crunchy textures.
