A Healthy, No Wheat Sandwich Option

Since I've tried to eliminate gluten from my diet, the one thing I'm beginning to miss is a sandwich. Something easy and healthy to pack for work that is still diet friendly.  I don't remember where I saw the option of replacing the bread with a a cucumber, but as I didn't come to that conclusion on my own I do not want to take credit for it.  However, it cuts out a ton of calories AND is wheat free.  What more can you ask for?!



No-Bread Sandwich

Ingredients
  • 1 Whole Cucumber
  • Meat, your choice
  • Other Sandwich toppings, your choice 
    
    • In the picture I used basil from the garden, deli sliced beef, Cedar Valley cheese, and green olives.  Nom Nom!

Instructions
  1. Cut the cucumber in half then "core" the inside seeds to make room for your sandwich meet, etc
  2. Compile sandwich and enjoy!
    • I like making my work lunch the night before, so I wrapped this ditty up in some saran wrap.  The benefit?  It also keeps the toppings on as you eat and unwrap as you go.

Total Time: 5 Minutes
