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
- 1–2 slices of red onion
- 3–4 slices of deli meat
- 2 slices of tomato
- optional: homemade guacamole or avocado slices
Instructions
- 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).
- Mayo: Take one of the lettuce buns and add as much mayo as desired.
- Add Fillings: Top with red onion, deli meat, tomato, and guacamole (if desired).
- 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.
