Looking for a healthy sandwich recipe that also tastes good. Try this healthy sandwich recipe for a tomato & cucumber sandwich with bacon.

This refreshing, tangy sandwich is easy to pull together when you’re short on time. You can lightly toast the bread if you want to add a little crunch. 

Fresh dill adds a grassy flavor. If you don’t have fresh, stir an 1/8 teaspoon dried dill in its place.
