For those of you that have been following along for a while, you know that veggies are not exactly my favorite food group.  I’d much rather eat cheese, or maybe some dark chocolate!  But I’ve been making a real effort to each healthier and am really trying to incorporate more veggies into each meal.  

Since I started my new job in January I’ve been making my own lunches and I’m always on the hunt for new things.  I’m a pretty big fan of sandwiches, especially when they start with really great bread! My current favorite is a whole grain bread from Whole Foods but any good whole grain bread will work for this sandwich so try out a couple of different options if you don’t already have a favorite.  

After great bread then you add the yummy sandwich ingredients.  I’ve piled on a bunch of my favorite veggies along with some cheese – because, well you’ve gotta have some cheese!  I also wanted to give the sandwich a little extra kick, so I added some of the Avocado Oil Wasabi Mayo that Chosen Foods recently sent me to try out.  This stuff is awesome!  It’s got just the right amount of kick from the wasabi and since it’s made with avocado oil it has some “good” fat in it too!   It’s a great addition to just about any sandwich.

notes from the kitchen

• I always toast the bread for my sandwiches, as I personally prefer that in all my sandwiches, however, if you prefer not to just skip that step in the recipe. If you are packing this sandwich for lunch you can either toast the bread at home, though it won’t have quite the same crunch or if you have a toaster at your office you can bring all the ingredients and toast it right before you assemble the sandwich.
• I used my favorite whole grain bread for this recipe, so definitely use your favorite!  I recommend something that’s got some good flavor and at least a bit of grain in it to keep it healthy and make sure the sandwich doesn’t fall apart.
• I actually like using Daikon Radish sprouts on sandwiches when I can find them, however, they are not always available at my Whole Foods, so standard alfalfa sprouts work well too!
