HEALTHY LUNCH- Tofu Sandwich with Cucumbers

How's all my foodies doing? Are we trying to stay somewhat healthy, cooking and eating right? I'll tell you, the last two days, I jumped the healthy train and ate some pork. Not healthy pork dishes. But today is another day. I'll make me a good lunch with organic tofu, and some tasty cucumbers. And some other ingredients. No chips, no french fries. Just a healthy sandwich. So let's check out the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS Makes 1, just double the ingredients for 2.

DIRECTIONS

Take two slices of bread, and spread the Vegenaise and mustard mixture. Spread it on both pieces of bread. Layer all of the lettuce, tomamotes and onions on one side.

Take your cucumber slices, and drizzle the ketchup and Vegenaise mixture over the cucumber slices. Voila! You got yourself some fiberous lunch with protein.
