Ditch the bread! 10 ways to make a sandwich without using bread

Breadless Cucumber Tuna Salad Sandwich  Instead of using regular bread, use cucumbers. Place the tuna salad between two cucumber slices. It's best to use English cucumbers because the skin is thinner and it doesn't need to be peeled.

Breadless Italian Sub Sandwich No need to pile on the deli-counter favourites on these low-calorie mushroom sandwiches. Use portobello mushroom caps in place of bread for a gluten free option.

Lettuce wraps Lettuce wraps are a refreshing and low carb alternative to bread. Use crisp lettuce leaves like romaine and iceberg. Layer your meats, cheeses and vegetables between the leaves for a nutritious meal. 

Collard Reuben  Steam lightly salted collard leaves until just shy of tender, then lay them out in an overlapping circle. Wrap meat, Swiss cheese and cabbage and serve with Russian dressing for dipping.

Waffle Tuna  Layer tuna salad and cheddar cheese between two of your favourite savoury waffles, then press in a skillet or panini press. This will also add a sweet taste to your sandwich.

Cheese Steak Taco Stuff a corn tortilla with shredded provolone, thinly sliced steak, and sauteed peppers and onions.

Sausage in a Pepper Cooked bell peppers are filled and folded like a taco, for a gluten-free, super-satisfying (and low-calorie) meal. Be sure to wrap in wax paper to help catch all the juices.

Jerk Turkey Burgers on Sweet Potato Rounds  Thick-cut sweet potatoes work nicely as stand-ins for hamburger buns in these island-inspired turkey burgers. The yoghurt helps keep the ground turkey moist and delicious.

Chicken Salad on Apple Rounds These clever little low-calorie and gluten-free sandwiches use apple rounds to stand in for the bread. You can use the crisp, red varieties for this dish.
