Description

A quick and satisfying sandwich packed with deli turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, fresh veggies, and a tangy homemade mayo-mustard spread—perfect for a light meal after a swim or any time you crave a hearty, flavorful bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 2 slices of hearty sandwich bread or a hoagie roll

Meats & Cheese

  • 3 slices deli turkey
  • 3 slices deli ham
  • 2 slices Swiss cheese

Vegetables

  • Leafy lettuce
  • 2 slices tomato
  • 4 slices cucumber

Condiments & Seasoning

  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pickles or banana peppers


Instructions

  1. Prepare the spread: In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined to create a tangy mayo-mustard spread.
  2. Toast the bread: Lightly toast the bread slices or hoagie roll if desired to add a slight crisp and warmth to the sandwich base.
  3. Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both slices of the bread to infuse flavor and moisture throughout the sandwich.
  4. Layer the deli meats and cheese: Place the turkey, then ham slices, followed by Swiss cheese on one slice of the prepared bread to build the protein and cheesy base.
  5. Add fresh vegetables: Top the meat and cheese layer with leafy lettuce, tomato slices, and cucumber slices to add freshness and crunch.
  6. Season the vegetables: Lightly sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the veggies to enhance their flavor.
  7. Add optional toppings: If using, layer pickles or banana peppers on top to introduce a tangy or spicy kick.
  8. Assemble and serve: Place the second slice of bread on top, pressing gently, then cut the sandwich in half if desired and serve immediately to enjoy at its freshest.

Notes

  • Toast the bread lightly to prevent sogginess from the spread and veggies.
  • Adjust the amount of mayo and mustard based on your flavor preference.
  • Feel free to substitute Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different taste.
  • To keep the sandwich fresh if packing for later, add lettuce and tomato just before serving.
  • Use whole grain or gluten-free bread to adapt the recipe for dietary needs.
