I recently found a clever recipe posted on one of my favourite websites, www.thekitchn.com. It’s a twist on veggie sub, but so much better. After one glance at the recipe, I immediately knew I had to try my own version of a veggie sandwich. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of subs—something about the overly doughy bread and its yeasty smell that permeates the ubiquitous shops. And not to mention, processed sliced mystery meats and cheeses (who eats that stuff anyway)? But Subway does have a great selection of fresh veggies…. I remember when I was first lured there in the late 80’s, enticed by their new veggie sub... The colourful veggies were piled high in the stainless steel bins: lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, olives and hot pickled banana peppers. I ordered the works and the sandwich was ... delicious, that’s right, DELICIOUS! I am more partial to Quiznos now, as they offer upgraded toppings like guacamole, but if you want a real treat, experiment with your own version at home.
Really, Really Yummy Veggie Sandwich
adapted from www.thekitchn.com
- red or yellow pepper, thinly sliced
- cucumber, thinly sliced
- carrot, grated
- tomato, thinly sliced
- lettuce, shredded or whole leaves
- dill pickle, thinly sliced
- hot banana peppers, chopped
- olive oil mayonnaise, to taste (my husband used hummus; avocado or guacamole would also work here)
- dijon mustard, to taste
- whole grain seed bread, or bread of choice, lightly toasted
(or any combination of veggies you like—the key is the pickles and hot peppers!)
Pile any combination of veggies you like on to toasted grainy bread and enjoy veggie sandwich heaven!
