Sprout Sandwiches

I remember how much I disliked alfalfa sprouts as a kid.

I also remember my mom making sprout sandwiches, and how much she loved them, but I just couldn't get on board.  Now I love these sandwiches!  It is hot and humid out, and this sandwich is light, fresh, and hits the spot.  I have no idea where my mom got this recipe, but whoever or wherever she got it- Thank you!!

Here's the recipe:

Dressing- Mix together these ingredients. (I skip the mayo)
2/3 cup plain yogurt (Greek would work, but I can't say that I've tried it)
1/3 cup mayo
dill weed-liberally (I add a lot.)

Assemble the sandwich in this order-
Bread on the bottom (I use whole wheat, and my mom always used an oat bread that was yummy)
Dressing on bread
Slices of cheese (cheddar is the best!)
Slices of tomatoes (I chop mine for easier eating)
Slices of cucumber (I chop these too for easier eating)
Avocado slices
Alfalfa sprouts
Sunflower seeds
Green onion
More dressing on top

 

I just had this for lunch. It makes me so happy! I was thinking this might go well in a pita or tortilla or naan. It is so messy to eat, even with a fork and knife.  Even so, it's delicious!

Not so glamorous to cut apart and eat, but so worth it!
