Vegetarian Reubens With Russian Dressing - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Russian dressing
    2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons ketchup
    2 teaspoons chopped capers
    1 teaspoon chopped pickles or 1 teaspoon relish
    Sandwiches
    3 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
    1 small red onion, thinly sliced
    1 cup sliced mushrooms
    5 cups Baby Spinach
    fresh ground pepper
    4 slices rye bread
    1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat swiss cheese
    1/2 cup sauerkraut
Preparation
    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.
