Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole-grain bread
- 4 slices Low-sodium, lean ham
- 2 slices Low-fat Swiss cheese
- 0.5 medium Avocado
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Baby spinach leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by lightly toasting the whole-grain bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, slice the tomato thinly and set aside.
In a small bowl, mash the avocado with the lemon juice and a pinch of black pepper until smooth and creamy.
Once the bread is toasted, spread one teaspoon of Dijon mustard on two of the slices.
Spread half of the avocado mixture on each of the remaining two slices of toasted bread.
On the mustard-coated slices, layer one slice of low-sodium, lean ham, followed by one slice of low-fat Swiss cheese.
Top the cheese with a generous handful of baby spinach leaves and several slices of tomato.
Finish by placing the avocado-coated slices of toast on top, avocado side down, to complete the sandwich.
Lightly press each sandwich together, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately.
