Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 4 slices Low sodium roast turkey breast
- 3 slices Low sodium cooked ham
- 2 slices Low sodium Swiss cheese
- 4 large leaves Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium, sliced Tomato
- 1 small, sliced Cucumber
- 0.5 medium, sliced Avocado
- 2 tablespoons, softened Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 0.25 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the spread: In a small bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, Dijon mustard, and mayonnaise. Stir until uniform. Set aside.
Lightly toast the whole grain bread slices until they are golden brown. This will add some crunch to your sandwich.
Place two slices of toasted bread on a clean working surface. Spread a thin layer of the prepared butter mixture evenly across one side of each slice.
Place two lettuce leaves on top of the buttered side of each slice of bread.
Layer two slices of low sodium roast turkey breast over the lettuce on each slice of bread.
Add one layer of tomato slices, cucumber slices, and avocado slices on top of the turkey, ensuring that each ingredient is evenly distributed.
Place a slice of low sodium Swiss cheese over the vegetables on each bread slice.
Lay one and a half slices of low sodium cooked ham on top of the cheese for each sandwich.
Sprinkle a pinch of fresh ground black pepper over the top of the assembled layers for added flavor.
Top each sandwich with the remaining slices of bread, with the buttered side facing down, to complete the sandwich.
Gently press down on the sandwich to make it compact and hold together.
Using a serrated knife, cut each sandwich in half diagonally to create two triangle-shaped servings.
Serve immediately while the bread is still crisp, and enjoy your low sodium Dagwood sandwich!
