1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Slightly less than ¼ seedless cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

Toss the watereress with the 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Trim the crusts from the bread. This is optional but makes the tramezzmi look more "finished."
