- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.5 medium Cucumber
- 2 tablespoons Mustard

Instructions
Slice the whole grain baguette lengthwise and open it up, being careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the mustard and low-fat mayonnaise together. Spread this mixture evenly on both interior sides of the baguette.
Layer the lettuce leaves on the bottom half of the baguette.
Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber. Place half of the sliced tomato and cucumber on top of the lettuce.
Evenly distribute the low-fat ham slices over the vegetables, followed by the low-fat cheese slices.
Season the fillings with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Add the remaining tomato and cucumber slices on top of the cheese.
Close the baguette, pressing down gently to help the fillings stay in place.
Cut the baguette into two equal halves, serve immediately, and enjoy!
