Description

Our Lettuce Sandwich is an incredibly easy lunch or dinner idea! They are so good and so simple to make with any fillings you want!


Ingredients

Scale
  • one head of iceberg lettuce, outer 2-3 pieces removed and rinsed clean
  • mayonnaise
  • 12 slices of red onion
  • 34 slices of deli meat
  • 2 slices of tomato
  • optional: homemade guacamole or avocado slices

Instructions

  1. Lettuce Bun: Take the head of lettuce and lay it on a cutting board; use a large knife to cut off two slices from the lettuce to create buns (see photos in post for an example).
  2. Mayo: Take one of the lettuce buns and add as much mayo as desired.
  3. Add Fillings: Top with red onion, deli meat, tomato, and guacamole (if desired).
  4. Serve: Place the other lettuce bun on top and enjoy!

Notes

  • Whole30/Paleo: check ingredients of the mayo to ensure it is compliant or make a Whole30 homemade mayo. Also, check the ingredients of the deli meat.
  • Meal Prep: You could definitely make these sandwiches the day before work and store in the refrigerator overnight in an airtight container. If you want to store for longer, then I wouldn’t add the mayo or guacamole until ready to eat, so the lettuce doesn’t get soggy.
