So, today has been one of those days that goes by in the blink of an eye, one moment I'm packing Jack's lunch and sending him off to school, the next I am cooking supper, still, in my PJ's. Ohh the life of a mom with toddlers. When life just seems to get ahead of you what's easier to make than a sandwich. They're fast, easy and soooo satisfying, especially with a bowl of soup in hand (check out my Butternut Squash Soup post for a delicious pairing). Lately I've been obsessed with dried fig's and this new Weeds & Seeds mix I found at my local market. Its made by Back to Earth, Earth-Friendly Products. If you haven't tried it I'd highly recommend it. So I decided to whip up a quick sandwich with them in it. It was delightful, so I felt the need to share. I hope you like it as much as I do.
What you need:
- Loaf of bread. Any sandwich bread will do.
- Cucumber
- Tomatoes
- Peppers ( I used red and yellow)
- Purple Cabbage
- Spinach
- Alfalfa Sprouts
- Weeds & Seeds
- Avocado Salsa (I will be posting my recipe shortly)
- Dried Figs
The how to:
- Start off by prepping your vegetables. Thinly slice the cucumber length wise to the length of your bread, shred the cabbage and slice the peppers. Toast the bread and let cool (this is so it doesn't go soggy). Layer your sandwich on one side to make it easier to close later. Cucumber, tomatoes, red cabbage, peppers, spinach, sprouts on one side. Slice figs add to other side of sandwich cover with avocado salsa this helps keep the figs in place, and then top with Weed's and Seeds (optional). Put together and enjoy immediately. Yum yum!
