A Very Veggie Sandwich

If you're in the mood for a healthy lunch that is packed with fresh veggies, try this
Very Veggie Sandwich!


All you need is:


Olive Oil Dressing:
  • 6 Tbl Olive oil
  • 3 Tbl lemon juice (or to taste)
  • Dried Rosemary, to taste
  • Dried Oregano, to taste
  • Dried Basil, to taste
  • Parsley, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Cayenne pepper (a very small amount)
  • Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning, to taste
  • Small jar with a lid
  • Fresh baby spinach leaves, chopped
  • Pumpkin seeds
  • 1/8- 1/4 c Feta cheese
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Two slices of 100% whole wheat bread
  • Regular mustard
  • 3-5 thin slices of tomato
  • 1/4 Mozzarella cheese
  1. Combine the ingredients for the Olive Oil Dressing in the small jar. Secure the lid and shake until blended.
  2. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
  3. Combine the spinach, seeds, Feta, and no more than 1 Tbl of the dressing. Toss to coat.
  4. Lightly brush both slices of bread, and spread a small amount of mustard on each side.
  5. Lay down 1-2 tomato slices on each slice of bread, then a layer of the spinach mixture, and top it off with the mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake both slices, open faced, at 450 degrees, or broil if you are in a hurry and can stay by the oven. You simply want the cheese to melt and to lightly toast the bread.
  7. Combine both slices of bread to create a sandwich, and cut at a diagonal to serve. You can serve this sandwich with a fresh side salad, home-made fries, or an all-natural baked chip.
Always remember, you can have fun, eat great, and stay healthy all at the same time! :)
