Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plain low-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
2 slices pumpernickel bread
1 (1-ounce) slice lean ham
1 small pear, thinly sliced
1 (1-ounce) slice low-sodium Swiss cheese

Preparation
1. Combine yogurt and dill in a small bowl; stir until blended.
2. Spread yogurt mixture on 1 slice of bread. Top with ham, half of the pear slices, cheese, and remaining bread slice. Slice in half using a sharp knife. Serve with remaining pear slices on the side.

I toasted my bread before assembling. Just a personal preference.

And...isn't the dill-yogurt spread ahh-mazing??!! I could use it for everything...a sandwich spread, veggie dip, salad dressing, moisturizer...

Okay - I won't use it as a moisturizer. Gee whiz, people.

Enjoy!
