A crunchy, tangy, and flavorful twist on traditional sandwiches, Pickle Sandwiches use large pickles as a bread substitute, filled with delicious meats, cheeses, and condiments. Perfect for low-carb, keto, and gluten-free diets, these sandwiches are easy to prepare and packed with zesty goodness.
- 2 large dill pickles (sliced lengthwise)
- 4 slices turkey or ham
- 2 slices cheddar or Swiss cheese
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise or mustard
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- 2 slices tomato
- 1 tbsp red onion (thinly sliced)
- 1 Prepare the Pickles
Slice the large dill pickles lengthwise to create sandwich halves. Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- 2 Add Condiments
Spread mayonnaise or mustard on the inside of each pickle half.
- 3 Assemble the Sandwich
Layer turkey or ham, cheese, shredded lettuce, tomato slices, and red onion on one half of the pickle. Place the other pickle half on top to form a sandwich.
- 4 Serve and Enjoy
Secure with toothpicks if needed and serve immediately. Optionally, slice the sandwiches in half for easier handling.
- For a spicy kick, use spicy pickles or add sliced jalapeños.
- Experiment with different meats and cheeses for variety.
- If pickles are too moist, blot them dry to prevent sogginess.
