How to make a salad sandwich

  1. Make the herb mayo:Β Combine the mayonnaise (or yogurt) with lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Blend with an immersion blender or food processor until smooth then set aside.
  2. Prep the vegetables:Β Thinly slice the tomato, cucumber and red onion and julienne the cucumber. I added sliced Monterey Jack as well but that’s optional.
  3. Assemble the sandwich:Β Spread a generous amount of the herb mayo onto two slices of bread then top with all your prepped vegetables and cheese. Slice and serve.

Can I make this ahead?

This really is the kind of sandwich that is best eaten right away as the vegetables will make the bread soggy. Luckily, it takes no more than 5 minutes to prep all the vegetables and the mayo can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in the fridge.

Can I add protein to this salad sandwich?

Absolutely. Sliced cooked chicken, ham, tuna, smoked salmon and sliced boiled eggs will all be delicious in this sandwich.
