Ingredients
Scale
Dressing
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 clove garlic, grated or pressed
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons tarragon, finely chopped
- Zest and juice of ½ lemon
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
Sandwich Filling
- 4 thick slices whole-wheat bread (½ inch)
- 1 cup arugula (or watercress)
- 6 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced ¼ inch thick
- ⅓ English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
- ⅔ cup alfalfa sprouts
Instructions
- Make the dressing: In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, grated garlic, chopped chives, tarragon, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the dressing: Evenly spread about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt-mayo herb sauce on each slice of whole-wheat bread, ensuring full coverage for flavor.
- Assemble the fillings: On two of the bread slices, layer half of the arugula, followed by mozzarella slices, thin cucumber slices, and avocado slices. Top each with a generous amount of alfalfa sprouts.
- Complete the sandwich: Place the remaining two bread slices on top, spread side down, to close the sandwiches securely.
- Serve: Cut each sandwich in half diagonally and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their best.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo and mozzarella with a vegan cheese alternative.
- Use watercress instead of arugula for a slightly different peppery flavor.
- To make ahead, prepare the dressing and slice ingredients in advance but assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep bread from getting soggy.
- Whole-wheat bread adds fiber and nutrients, but feel free to use your preferred bread type.
