Vegetable Club Sandwich Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 slices of bread (toasted)
• 1 medium-sized cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
• 1 avocado, sliced
• 1 cup lettuce leaves (such as romaine or iceberg)
• 1/2 cup shredded carrots
• 1/4 cup sliced red onion (optional)
• 4-6 tablespoons mayonnaise or vegan mayo
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: sprouts, roasted bell peppers, or pickles for added flavor

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Wash and slice the cucumber, tomato, avocado, and red onion (if using).
   • Shred the carrots and wash the lettuce leaves.
2. Toast the Bread:
   • Toast the slices of bread until they are golden brown and crispy. You can use a toaster or a skillet with a bit of butter or oil.
3. Assemble the Vegetable Club Sandwich:
   • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of toasted bread.
   • Place one slice of bread, mayo-side up, on a clean surface.
   • Layer with lettuce leaves, followed by cucumber slices, tomato slices, and a sprinkle of shredded carrots.
   • Place the second slice of toasted bread on top, mayo-side up.
   • Layer with avocado slices, red onion (if using), and any additional ingredients like sprouts or roasted bell peppers.
   • Top with the third slice of toasted bread, mayo-side down.
4. Secure and Cut the Sandwich:
   • To keep the layers together, insert toothpicks or cocktail sticks into the corners of the sandwich.
   • Use a sharp knife to cut the vegetable club sandwich diagonally into two halves, creating two triangular halves.
   • Optionally, secure each half with an additional toothpick or serve them as open-faced sandwiches.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
   • Serve your vegetable club sandwich with a side of crispy potato chips, a fresh salad, or a bowl of soup for a complete meal.
   • Optionally, drizzle with a favorite dressing or add a dollop of hummus for extra flavor.

Tips:

• Feel free to customize your vegetable club sandwich with your favorite veggies or add-ons like olives, spinach leaves, or grilled eggplant.
• Use whole wheat or multigrain bread for added nutrition and fiber.
• For a vegan option, use plant-based mayo and ensure all ingredients are vegan-friendly.
