Corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese on rye.

Reuben Sandwich — photo 1

A Reuben is corned beef, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Russian or Thousand Island dressing on rye bread, grilled in butter until the cheese melts. It supplies a good amount of protein but is high in fat and very high in sodium from the cured beef, cheese, sauerkraut and dressing. Half a sandwich with a green salad is a lighter meal.
