Place a medium-sized skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Add the low-sodium pastrami slices to the skillet and warm for 2-3 minutes, flipping halfway through. This enhances the flavor and texture.
While the pastrami warms, lightly toast the slices of whole-grain rye bread in a toaster until they are just golden brown.
Lay two slices of toasted rye bread on a clean work surface. Evenly spread 1 tablespoon of mustard on each slice.
Place a slice of Swiss cheese on one slice of the mustard-spread bread.
Layer half of the warmed pastrami slices on top of the Swiss cheese.
Add a piece of green leaf lettuce, followed by a few slices of tomato and two low-sodium pickle slices on top of the pastrami.
Complete the sandwich by topping it with another slice of rye bread, mustard side down.
Repeat the assembly for the second sandwich.
Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
