Healthy Recipes Main Dish Sandwich Tomato & Cucumber Sandwich with Bacon 4.2 (6) 2 Reviews This refreshing, tangy sandwich is easy to pull together when you're short on time. You can lightly toast the bread if you want a little crunch. Fresh dill adds a grassy flavor—if you don't have fresh, use 1/8 teaspoon dried dill in its place. Make it a vegetarian sandwich by skipping the bacon in favor of sliced cheese or an extra slice of tomato.
