How To Make a Healthy Reuben Sandwich

To make a healthy Reuben sandwich, you can make the following substitutions:

• Use whole-wheat rye bread instead of white bread.
• Use low-sodium, lean corned beef.
• Use reduced-fat Swiss cheese.
• Use homemade sauerkraut instead of store-bought sauerkraut. Store-bought sauerkraut can be high in sodium and sugar.
• Use a healthier spread, such as Greek yogurt or hummus, instead of Russian dressing or Thousand Island dressing.

Here is a recipe for a healthy Reuben sandwich:

Ingredients:

• 2 slices whole-wheat rye bread
• 2-3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 2-3 slices low-sodium, lean corned beef
• 2-3 slices reduced-fat Swiss cheese
• 1/4 cup homemade sauerkraut

Instructions:

1. Spread the Greek yogurt on one side of each slice of bread.
2. Place one slice of bread, yogurt-side down, on a plate.
3. Layer the corned beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on top of the bread.
4. Place the other slice of bread, yogurt-side up, on top of the sandwich.
5. Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.

Tips:

• For a crispier sandwich, toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
• Add a side of roasted vegetables or a salad to complete the meal.

Enjoy!
