Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 leaves Large lettuce leaves (e.g., romaine or butter lettuce)
- 150 grams Sliced cooked turkey breast
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 small Tomato
- 0.25 medium Cucumber
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
1. Wash the lettuce leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. These will serve as the wraps for your sandwich.
2. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then mix in the salt and pepper.
3. Slice the tomato into thin rounds and cut the cucumber into thin slices or ribbons using a knife or vegetable peeler.
4. Lay two lettuce leaves flat on a clean surface to form the base for each sandwich.
5. Spread a thin layer of mashed avocado onto each lettuce leaf base. If using, add a small amount of mayonnaise on top of the avocado for additional flavor and creaminess.
6. Add half the sliced turkey breast, tomato slices, and cucumber slices onto each lettuce base.
7. Top each sandwich with another lettuce leaf, gently pressing to secure the fillings.
8. Serve immediately, or wrap tightly with parchment paper for an on-the-go option.
