Instructions: Soften lahvosh - thoroughly wet both sides of lahvosh by holding it under cold running water. Place between two damp towels (terry cloth) for 45-60 minutes. Dampen lahvosh again if needed - a clean spray bottle is ideal for this, or sprinkle lightly by hand.

Test before using by grasping one side of lahvosh and rolling jelly-roll fashion. If too dry, it will split and crack. Just sprinkle with more water, recover with damp towel until soft and pliable. IF too wet, it will tear and pull apart when handled. Just uncover and allow to dry before filling and rolling.

Place softened lahvosh sesame side down, on piece of plastic wrap 2 or 3 inches longer than the lahvosh. In a small bowl, stir softened light cream cheese and mayo together until smooth; spread evenly on lahvosh. Arrange lunch meat to completely cover lahvosh. Layer with slices of cheese and sprinkle with lettuce. Scatter sliced almonds over all.

Roll tight, jelly-roll fashion, from edge nearest you toward center, lifting top edge up and over so that completed roll is nearly center on plastic wrap. Wrap tightly, securely closing ends, and refrigerate for several hours.

To serve, unwrap and slice crosswise in 1/2 inch slices. Arrange on plate or tray. Garnish with tomato wedges or radish roses.

NOTES :
* Used fatfree sliced cheese - torn up

* Can use alfalfa sprouts

* Never used almonds

* Added diced tomatoes.

Easy to make! Longest part is softening the wrap. Weve substituted flour tortillas, but it is better with the Lavosh.
