Ingredients
Scale
Bread & Spread
- 2 slices of hearty sandwich bread or a hoagie roll
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
Meat & Cheese
- 3 slices deli turkey
- 3 slices deli ham
- 2 slices Swiss cheese
Vegetables & Seasoning
- Leafy lettuce (amount as desired)
- 2 slices tomato
- 4 slices cucumber
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: pickles or banana peppers
Instructions
- Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard thoroughly to create a tangy and creamy spread that will add flavor and moisture to the sandwich.
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast the slices of bread or the hoagie roll if desired. This adds a pleasant crunch and prevents sogginess.
- Apply the spread: Evenly spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both slices of the bread to ensure every bite is flavorful.
- Layer the meats and cheese: Place the slices of deli turkey, deli ham, and Swiss cheese evenly on one slice of the bread to build the protein base of the sandwich.
- Add fresh vegetables: Layer leafy lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices on top of the meats and cheese for freshness and crunch.
- Season the veggies: Sprinkle salt and pepper lightly over the vegetables to enhance their flavors.
- Add optional toppings: If desired, include pickles or banana peppers for an extra tangy or spicy kick.
- Assemble and serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, cut the sandwich in half if preferred, and serve immediately to enjoy the sandwich at its freshest.
Notes
- The bread can be toasted or used as-is based on personal preference.
- Pickles or banana peppers add a nice tangy contrast but are optional.
- For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or substitute with Greek yogurt.
- Can be customized with different cheeses or deli meats according to taste.
- Consume immediately to avoid sogginess from vegetables.
