Instructions
1-Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace to ensure a smooth cooking process. Wash vegetables thoroughly and pat dry.

3-Spread low-fat mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice, adjusting based on dietary preferences.
4-Layer lean turkey breast or plant-based protein on the mayo-covered bread.
5-Add fresh lettuce leaves and tomato slices atop the protein for freshness and moisture.
6-Place cheese slices or vegan cheese alternatives to complement the flavor and texture.
7-Drizzle Dijon mustard over the ingredients for a tangy accent, if desired.
8-Finally, close the sandwich and cut diagonally into halves and then quarters for a total of four triangles. Use toothpicks if desired and serve with potato chips.
