Ingredients

• 4 slices whole grain bread
• 4 tablespoons cream cheese
• 4 pieces lettuce leaves
• 0.5 medium cucumber
• 1 medium tomato
• 1 small carrot
• 0.25 medium red onion
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.5 cup sprouts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing all the fresh vegetables thoroughly under cold running water and pat dry them with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

Peel the cucumber and carrot. Using a sharp knife, slice the cucumber, tomato, and peeled carrot into thin, round slices.

Step 3

Peel and slice the red onion into thin rings.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to form a simple dressing.

Step 5

Lay out the slices of bread on a flat surface or cutting board.

Step 6

Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on one side of each bread slice.

Step 7

Place one lettuce leaf on top of the cream cheese on two of the bread slices.

Step 8

Arrange the cucumber, tomato, carrot, and onion slices evenly on top of the lettuce.

Step 9

If you are using sprouts, add them at this point on top of the vegetable layers.

Step 10

Drizzle the prepared olive oil and lemon dressing evenly over the arranged vegetables.

Step 11

Top each layered slice with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.

Step 12

Gently press down to ensure the sandwich holds together, then slice each sandwich diagonally for easier handling.

Step 13

Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or wrap tightly in plastic wrap to consume later.
