Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Sandwich bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
- 1 medium Tomato
- 0.25 medium Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for toasting)
- 2 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the tomato, onion, and lettuce thoroughly under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
Slice the tomato into thin, even slices. Aim for enough slices to cover the sandwich bread without overlapping excessively.
Peel the red onion and slice it thinly into rings or half-rings, depending on your preference.
If desired, lightly butter one side of each bread slice and toast them on a skillet until golden brown. Otherwise, proceed with untoasted bread.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly on one side of each slice of bread.
Place the lettuce leaves on the mayonnaise-coated side of one bread slice.
Layer the tomato slices evenly over the lettuce. Lightly sprinkle salt and black pepper over the tomato for added flavor.
Add the onion rings or half-rings over the tomato slices.
Top the sandwich with the remaining slice of bread, mayonnaise-side down.
Press the sandwich gently to hold the layers together, slice it in half (diagonally or vertically, as you prefer), and serve immediately.
