Instructions

Prepare Pickles: Start by cutting the pickle spears in half lengthwise, creating two thin slices per spear that will serve as the sandwich ‘bread.’
Make Spread: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and chopped fresh dill if using to create a creamy, flavorful spread.
Apply Spread: Evenly spread the mayonnaise mixture onto the inside surfaces of each pickle slice to ensure each bite is flavorful and moist.
Assemble Meat and Cheese: Layer the deli meat slices over the spread, followed by cheese slices to build a hearty sandwich filling.
Add Toppings: Add optional toppings like thinly sliced red onion, fresh lettuce leaves, and tomato slices as desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste to enhance flavor.
Complete Sandwich: Place another pickle slice on top to complete the sandwich assembly, pressing gently to secure all layers.
Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh crunch and savory flavors of this low-carb pickle sandwich.

Notes

This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crunch of the pickles.
Feel free to substitute deli turkey or chicken with your favorite deli meat or make it vegetarian by adding avocado slices or grilled vegetables.
If you prefer less intense pickle flavor, rinse the pickle spears briefly under cold water before using.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and mustard to taste or use low-fat versions for a lighter spread.
