So, I was completely out of bread this week, and I was out of a couple of ingredients to make more. SO, I came up with this alternative on the fly, and it worked!
What you need:
6-8 slices of your favorite gluten-free lunchmeat
4-6 slices GF hard salami, optional (I used Hormel)
2 slices cheese
2-4 romaine lettuce leaves, rinsed & dried (I prefer romaine instead of iceberg because romaine has a lot more nutrients; spinach would be great too)
Just put your lettuce leaves down and layer your other items. If you want more of a “sandwich-feel” you can put 1 lettuce leaf on the bottom and 1 on top with your layers in between. (That’s how I eat burgers when we go out to eat.)
The options are endless; try using tuna, left over chicken pieces, left over taco meat, egg salad and more!
If you are diabetic or just trying to watch your carb intake, this is a great way to cut those carbs and still feel like you are eating a sandwich.
This also packages well for the lunchbox!
