Instructions
-
Prepare the Bread: Start by spreading 1 teaspoon of prepared mustard on one side of each slice of bread. The mustard will add a zesty kick to the sandwich, making every bite flavorful.
-
Layer the Vegetables: Begin by placing a fresh layer of spinach or romaine lettuce on the mustard-coated side of one bread slice. The crisp greens will provide a nice contrast to the creamy mustard. Next, add the thinly sliced red onion and tomato slices to the sandwich, layering them evenly on top of the lettuce.
-
Add the Egg and Sprouts: Place the sliced hard-boiled egg on top of the tomatoes. The egg adds richness and protein, making this sandwich even more filling. Sprinkle a generous amount of alfalfa sprouts over the egg for a crunchy texture and a hint of earthy flavor.
-
Assemble the Sandwich: Finally, place the second slice of bread on top of the layered ingredients, mustard side down, to close the sandwich.
-
Serve: Cut the sandwich into halves or quarters if desired, and serve immediately for a fresh and satisfying meal.
This Sunny Patch Garden Salad Sandwich makes for a light, refreshing, and quick meal that is both nutritious and easy to prepare. With its colorful layers of vegetables and satisfying textures, it’s sure to be a hit at lunchtime or as a snack.
