Ingredients

For the Russian dressing:

2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

2 teaspoons ketchup

2 teaspoons chopped capers

1 teaspoon chopped pickle or relish

For the Sandwiches:

3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 small red onion, thinly sliced

1 cup sliced mushrooms

5 cups baby spinach

Freshly ground pepper to taste

4 slices rye bread

1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese, such as Jarlsberg Lite or Alpine Lace (2 ounces)

1/2 cup sauerkraut

(For homemade sauerkraut, try http://www.grouprecipes.com/42630/my-favourite-sauerkraut.html)

Directions

Prepare Russian dressing: Whisk mayonnaise and ketchup in a small bowl until smooth. Stir in capers and pickle (or relish).

To prepare sandwiches: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and mushrooms; cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 4 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring, until it has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the mixture to a plate.

Coat the pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and return to medium heat. Add the bread; divide cheese equally among the slices. Divide sauerkraut between 2 slices and divide the spinach mixture between the other 2 slices; cook until the cheese has melted and the bread is golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer sandwich halves to a cutting board. Divide the dressing between the spinach halves. Carefully place the sauerkraut halves on top. Cut sandwiches in half and serve.

Sounds delicious to me and I love reubens - one of my favorite sammies. I like the option of having a veggie version. Great post - thanks so much!

This sandwich looks awesome. I've been a vegetarian for so long that I've never had a real reuben, but hey, I also think this one could stand on its own as a tasty sammie!
