Combine the arugola, garlic, and sea salt in a food processor and pulse quickly two or three times. Slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube with the motor running until a paste consistency is formed. You may not need all the olive oil. Transfer the paste to a small bowl and stir in the pepper.
Make 4 sandwiches by spreading a little of the pesto on one zucchini slice. Top with a lettuce leaf, 2 slices of tomato and two or three cucumber slices. Spread another zucchini slice with pesto and place it on top of the cucumbers. Cut in half widthwise and serve.
