Start by crumbling the paneer into small pieces using your hands or a fork.
Finely chop the cucumber, tomato, and green bell pepper. Peel and grate the carrot.
In a bowl, combine the crumbled paneer, chopped cucumber, tomato, grated carrot, and green bell pepper.
Add Greek yogurt, black pepper, lemon juice, and half of the chopped mint leaves to the paneer and vegetable mixture. Mix well and set aside.
Lightly toast the whole wheat bread slices in a toaster or on a skillet until they are golden brown and crisp.
Take two slices of the toasted bread and spread the paneer mixture evenly over them.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top to form sandwiches. Press gently to secure.
Cut each sandwich in half diagonally or into quarters as per preference.
Serve the low sodium paneer sandwiches immediately, garnished with the remaining mint leaves and a drizzle of olive oil for extra flavor.
