How to make rye bread sandwiches Instructions:
Make the dressing:
- In a small bowl, mix together the lemon juice, yogurt, salt, syrup, and chopped thyme or basil. Stir until smooth and set aside.
Cook the sweet potato:
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the sweet potato slices and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and tender. Check with a fork or knife to make sure they’re soft inside. Once done, remove from the heat.
Prepare the bread:
- Lightly toast the rye bread slices either in a toaster or warm them in the microwave for about 1 minute.
Assemble the sandwich:
- Spread the prepared dressing on each slice of the toasted rye bread.
- Layer one slice with mixed salad, red onion, bell pepper, avocado, and sweet potato slices.
- Drizzle a little extra lemon juice over the avocado to prevent it from browning.
- Top it all off with sunflower seeds (optional) and the second slice of rye bread.
- Enjoy your fresh, hearty rye bread sandwich!
