My summer salad binge has come to a close, and now I want sandwiches. Yes, I have been eating sandwiches for lunch, basically since September began. I love Vegetarian sandwiches, I enjoy meat, but I find veggie sandwiches just have a lot more flavor. Plus, I will use any excuse to pile alfalfa sprouts onto a sandwich!
For my sandwiches, I like to start by taking a trip to Whole Foods Market and purchasing a fresh loaf of bread. No white bread for me, I like the nutrients that grain breads provide. Then I head over to the olive bar and pick up Peppadew peppers. If you’ve never had them, go find some, they are divine!
Then I head either to Publix or Trader Joe’s and pick some innards. I like to use Honey mustard or Hummus as a spread for my bread, and I always have a slice of cheese (usually Pepper Jack, Provolone, or Monterey Jack). As stated above, Alfalfa Sprouts are a must. The rest of the ingredients change based on what I am feeling, but its usually some combination of Avocado, Bell Pepper, Cucumber, Pickles, Tomato, and/or Onion. I don’t add any leafy greens, instead I leave those to my daily green smoothie.
I usually take some fruit, veggies and potato chips as a side. I mean, I literally take a Tupperware container and put a little of each into the small container. That strategy tends to keep me from eating too much of one thing. For my next food post, I will compile a list of my summer Mason Jar salad’s, plus I will talk a little about Salad Dressing.
