A breadless cucumber sandwich was created by Alex Stenzel in 2004. It is a carved out, stuffed cucumber where the actual cucumber is redesigned into a closed off container. It is sold under the trademark Gorilla Sandwich. Two cucumbers halves; one large 3/4 half container and one small 1/4 half lid are carved out. The container is filled with ingredients and the lid is used to close it off similar like a cork plugs into a wine bottle. The lid can also be garnished e.g. with a cherry tomato. The ingredients are stuffed in layers into the container. The original Gorilla Sandwich is stuffed with walnut, avocado, black olives, black kale, mustard greens and dulse.[2][3][4]

Stenzel's invention, known as the Gorilla Sandwich, substitutes traditional sliced bread for a hollowed-out cucumber filled with kale, olives, mustard greens, walnuts and avocado among other healthy ingredients.
