If properly assembled, the items on this tray would make a perfect breadless sandwich
As low carb diets continue their popularity and low carb dieters continue to shed pounds, more and more people are looking for a way to maintain their new, svelte figures without forgoing classic favorites like sandwiches. One way to keep the carb count down is to indulge in a sandwich without the bread.
Instructions
1. Lay one large piece of lettuce flat on the plate. If you cannot spread the leaf perfectly flat, that is okay as long as you have enough room to stack the insides of the sandwich on top of the leaf.
2. Stack one slice of cheese, one slice of tomato and two slices of lunch meat on top of the leaf. It is important to stack them in this order to give your sandwich more stability.
3. Spread mayonnaise and mustard on top of the lunch meat. Smooth the condiments on as if you were spreading them on a piece of bread. They should be even across the slice of lunch meat so that you can enjoy them with every bite.
4. Cover the condiments with two more slices of lunch meat, a tomato slice and another piece of cheese. This is the top half of your sandwich.
5. Place the second lettuce leaf on the top of the pile. At this point the edges of the lettuce leaves will be drooping over the sides of the sandwich.
6. Wrap the hanging edges of the lettuce leaves together. This will hold the sandwich together so that you can eat it the same way you would eat a sandwich made with bread.
