This time of year, folks are investing in themselves and their homesteads by enjoying the outdoors: hiking, gardening, cycling, cottaging, swimming and even mowing the lawn are all part of the summer months. When you come back in, it’s good to fill your nutrition bank. Today’s sandwich does that very thing. It’s a Summer Hefty Sandwich aimed at getting you ready to go back out again.
The Summer Hefty Sandwich
Ingredients (per sandwich)
- 1/8 cup of softened butter (margarine works also)
- 1/8 cup of crumbled blue cheese
- 1 long bun per person, e.g., a large hot dog bun, sliced lengthwise
- 1 sliced tomato
- 1 sliced chicken breast
- 3 or 4 slices of salami (to taste)
- 2 slices of Swiss cheese
- Some lettuce leaves
- Some ranch dressing or a dressing of your choice, e.g., blue cheese dressing
Preparation
- Mix up the butter and blue cheese and spread it on your bun halves
- On the bottom half of the bun, lay on the tomato slices, chicken, salami and cheese
- Top with lettuce and slather with some dressing
- Cover with the top half of your bun
- Cut the sandwich in two for ease of handling
For more sandwiches, just adjust your ingredients and start a production line. Some folks will have enough of half a sandwich, so adjust accordingly. Other folks may wish to toast the bun in the oven with the butter and blue cheese prior to loading it up. Vegetarians can use green or red peppers and some tofu if they wish. You might wish to try some of the new 0% beers with this great sandwich. I’ve been enjoying the citrus flavoured Kronenburg 1664 alcohol-free beer this summer and it’s a great addition to any sandwich.
