Ingredients
- 4 slices Whole grain bread slices
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Tomato
- 1 medium Carrot
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 small Avocado (optional)

Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly under running water to remove dirt and debris.
Peel the carrot and cucumber. Slice the cucumber and tomato into thin round slices. Grate the carrot and finely chop the red onion.
Optional: Peel and slice the avocado into thin slices, if using.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create the salad dressing. Add mustard for an extra kick, if desired.
In a large bowl, combine the grated carrot, chopped onion, and dressing. Toss until evenly coated.
Lay the lettuce leaves on one slice of bread for each sandwich. Layer the sliced cucumbers, tomatoes, and avocado (if using) on the lettuce.
Spread the carrot and onion salad mixture evenly on top of the sliced veggies.
Place the remaining bread slice on top of the layered veggies to complete the sandwich.
Slice the sandwich diagonally or into halves and serve immediately for a fresh and crisp texture.
