Cucumber Subs

by Kristen
cucumber11.jpg

I am always looking to switch up lunch. Its fun to think of ways to ” Think outside the sandwich bread”. Sandwich bread is often 90 calories a slice, and full of carbs. We can do better than that, can’t we?

I decided to try this cucumber sub. I honestly didn’t know how it would turn out. If you’re interested in more low carb lunch ideas. Check out my post 12 NON Bread lunch ideas. Another great recipe is my Tuna Melt on an Apple Slice.

This cucumber sub isn’t the most perfect situation ever, but it works. When I made this cucumber sub, I didn’t anticipate having an entire mouthful of cucumber. I think that this sandwich works much better as an open-faced sandwich, much easier to eat.

I used Low Sodium Turkey lunch meat, laughing cow cheese and mustard in my sandwich. If you are someone who doesn’t eat lunch meat, than chicken, tuna or egg salad would also work great. The possibilities are endless.

Hope this gives you some inspiration in your healthy eating ventures!

Love this approach, although I don’t get the problem with carbs. I can eat an entire box of spaghetti at 10 p.m., and I still don’t gain weight, and my blood sugar is fine. Must be genetics/metabolism.

However, I do stay away from most meat, particularly processed “lunch” meats. Also, cucumbers are a mild taste that would be overpowered by most meats. However, with a mild cheese, and a bit of dill and/or thyme in the mayonnaise, fantastic.

Thanks.

WE HAVE BEEN EATING THESE AT WORK and love them!! Our suggestions: peel the cucumber to eliminate the gassy effect. the philadelphia vegetable cream cheese is amazing on these! with turkey, even better.with turkey! And if you make a sub, scoop out a bit more and slice into pieces. Otherwise open face is awesome!!!

Hate to tell you lunch meats are gluten.full of it so isnt mustar. No offense but before you put gluten free on your recipes you should check out what is gluten free and what is not. The big corporation’s dont bother they just think putting gluten free on there products is okay. More money for them but you.no excuse. All im saying is check out the facts before someone who is gluten intolerent eats a recipe of yours that makes them sick or possibly die……..

You can also use a large pickle in place of a cucumber. I like mine filled with turkey and mayo mostly then wrap that in lettuce… The lettuce wrap over the pickle sandwich helps hold in the oversized fillings and juices… And tastes delicious with the combination of mayo turkey and pickle. Peppers make a nice edition as well. If you’re more of a sour krout fan and you make your own, ferment a whole or half cabbage and you will be left with another excellent wrapping material. Great idea on the cucumber… I don’t think I would ever have thought about that… Especially the hollowing out of it. 🙂

 
Kristen June 24, 2015 - 12:13 pm

That sounds really good! I have been on a pickle kick lately. I bet that’s a bit easier to eat. 🙂

I love this sub idea and think it would be good with a little chicken salad in it

I make a cucumber “salad” by dicing up a cucumber and adding red seedless grapes (cut in half) with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. I think it would also be good with some shaved Parmesan cheese and/or diced chicken to make it a little more substantial. It could also be used kind of like a salsa over a chicken breast or pork chop.

I make a similar item open as a boat filled w/ laughing cow minced meat or tuna and asstd vegis. I also put julienned cuke, onion, multi colored pepper and carrot rolled in meat with laughing cow spread on the sliced meat. The cheese acts as glue if you make certain that the edge has a bit on it when you roll it up. Keep the nummy tips coming.

Mix srirachi with mayo for kick and to stretch the mayo out. You could use crab and carrots with this to make it a sort of sushi, since srirachi and mayo is what makes the “spicy” in Spicy California Rolls.

I love this recipe a Cucumber Sub. It looks so refreshing and healthy. It is a great alternative to the typical high calorie carbs like processed breads. It is the perfect sandwich to reduce your calorie intake and incorporate into a healthy diet. Here are some more diet snack options that you will enjoy.

This is such a clever idea! Who needs bread? Please link up to Foodie Friday

Awesome idea! I'm having cucumber week on my blog, Ill have to include this in the post week roundup!

my mother will love this she often uses lettuce leaf instead of bread on her sandwiches

I make something similar all the time. I make mine a little inside out. I spread Laughing Cow cheese on a slice of turkey and wrap spears of cucumber with the turkey. They are a great lunch and my kids love them too!

That sounds really good!

That sounds like a perfect healthy alternative to cream cheese and pickles inside turkey, a family favorite of mine. I will try this for the holidays and see what they think 🙂

Ha! What a great idea to lighten up a sandwich. Would you consider linking this up at my Pinworthy Projects Party? I hope to see you there!

Yay, another lunch idea for work…

well i have to say i have never seen this idea, although i think it is a great one. good for you!

I put tuna salad in mine – the extra crunch from the cucumber is a big bonus! I like your lunchmeat version. Have you thought of also using a green bell pepper, like if you were going to go Italian Hoagie (capacola, salami, american cheese, onion, tomato, sweet peppers, lettuce)?

 
Kristen July 16, 2012 - 4:58 pm

Tuna salad sounds great! Also I think your on to something with the peppers!

 
Rogene Robbins July 14, 2012 - 6:47 pm

OMG this is great!! Thank you for this share!! I am a bread lover, but I often cut out carbs to be healthier. I am SO sick of using lettuce as bread, I can't believe I never thought of this. Stopping by from the blog hop and I'm SO glad I did. I am now your newest follower:) Hope you can come check out Crazy Mama Drama !

I bet that's yummy! I'm hosting a linky party “One Creative Weekend” at OneCreativeMommy.com. I'd love for you to visit and link up this idea and/or anything else you'd like to share.

 
Michelles Tasty Creations July 12, 2012 - 11:22 pm

Wow, these look delish! I like the idea of using more veggies and less bread, especially in the summer when it's super hot. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday this week. I can't wait to see what you link up next. Have a great weekend.

Just found you via the Live Laugh Linky Thursday. Couldn't help but visit your blog when I saw that pic. What a totally cool idea! I've never seen anything like that, but it looks delish and healthy! Care to link-up on my Healthy Tuesday post I still have up? http://ahumblebumble.blogspot.com/2012/07/healthy-tuesday-hop-vitamins.html

Cucumbers are so cooling in the summer – fabulous idea. I think the open-faced idea is better too,…easier to eat. Thanks for sharing at our party this week. (pssst,…do you know that you have word verification on? just in case you don't I thought I'd mention it).

 
GURU July 12, 2012 - 11:49 am

Great idea!!!!

 
IDELLA February 18, 2016 - 7:54 am

I am going to peel my cucumber and then slice it. Kind of like pickle spears but using the cucumber. Thanks for the great idea.
