His and Hers Club Dinner

Last night Kenny and I could not decide what to make. I really wanted a salad and he wanted a sandwich. So we compromised and made a salad and a sandwich using the same ingredients. We both got what we wanted and it was delicious!

For the Sandwich:
2 pieces of whole wheat bread
2 pieces of cooked turkey bacon
5-6 slices of thinly sliced turkey breast
1 avacado; sliced
Dijon mustard
Olive oil mayo
3-4 slices of tomato
1leaf of romaine lettuce

For the salad:
3-4 pieces of cooked turkey bacon
2 slices of thinly sliced turkey breast
4-5 cherry tomatoes
1 avacado; sliced
3-4 leaves of romaine lettuce

For the salad dressing:
Olive oil
Dijon mustard
Powdered ginger
Salt
Pepper

1. Cook the turkey bacon according to the package directions. Let it cool; it is much easier to handle that way. Start assembling the sandwich; add the turkey on one side of the bread. Add the mayo and dijon mustard on the other side of the bread. Then do the lettuce, tomato, avacado, and turkey bacon.
2. To secure the sandwich before cutting, we used two martini picks to hold it in place.
3. Make the salad dressing; put olive oil, dijon mustard, and spices in a bowl and whisk with a fork.

4. Assemble the salad. Rip up the romaine lettuce. Chop the tomatoes, turkey, and turkey bacon. Sprinkle them over the lettuce. Add the avacado to the top.

5. Add the dressing to the top of the salad and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
