Description

The Ultimate After-the-Pool Sandwich is a delicious and satisfying sandwich perfect for a quick lunch or a poolside snack. Combining savory deli turkey or grilled chicken with crispy bacon, creamy avocado, fresh tomato, and baby spinach on toasted sourdough or multigrain bread, this sandwich offers a wonderful balance of flavors and textures. Enhanced by mayonnaise and Dijon mustard, it’s easy to assemble and customizable to suit your preferences.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread & Spreads

  • 2 slices sourdough or multigrain bread (toasted if desired)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Protein & Cheese

  • 2–3 slices deli turkey or grilled chicken
  • 2 slices crispy bacon
  • 2 slices cheddar or provolone cheese

Vegetables & Extras

  • 2 slices ripe tomato
  • 1/4 avocado (sliced)
  • a handful of baby spinach or lettuce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Toast the sourdough or multigrain bread slices if desired to add a slight crunch and enhance the flavor of your sandwich.
  2. Apply Spreads: Spread mayonnaise and Dijon mustard evenly on one or both slices of bread to add moisture and a tangy zest to your sandwich.
  3. Layer Proteins and Cheese: On one slice of bread, layer the 2-3 slices of deli turkey or grilled chicken, followed by the 2 slices of crispy bacon and 2 slices of cheddar or provolone cheese to build a rich and hearty base.
  4. Add Fresh Vegetables: Place 2 slices of ripe tomato, 1/4 sliced avocado, and a handful of baby spinach or lettuce atop the protein and cheese layers for freshness and creaminess.
  5. Season: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the ingredients to enhance all the flavors within your sandwich.
  6. Assemble: Place the second slice of bread on top, pressing gently to hold all the layers together securely.
  7. Serve: Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling and serve immediately for optimal freshness or wrap it up for a convenient poolside snack.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the sandwich with your favorite protein, cheese, or type of bread to suit your taste preferences.
  • Add a drizzle of hot sauce or ranch dressing for an extra kick or creamy flavor boost.
  • This sandwich pairs wonderfully with chips, fresh fruit, or a cold beverage on a warm summer day.
