Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large romaine lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Sliced ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 slices Pickles
Instructions
Begin by washing and patting dry the romaine lettuce leaves. Ensure they are thoroughly dry to avoid any sogginess in the sandwich.
Lay two of the lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface to serve as the base of each sandwich.
In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Spread half of the mayonnaise mixture onto each romaine lettuce leaf base.
Layer 4 slices of ham evenly on top of the mayonnaise on each lettuce leaf base.
Place 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of the ham for each sandwich.
Top the cheese with tomato slices. Season the tomato with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Add 2 pickle slices atop each tomato layer.
Cover each sandwich with another romaine lettuce leaf, pressing down gently to ensure the ingredients are securely held together.
Serve immediately, or wrap tightly in parchment paper for an easy, low-carb lunch on the go.
