For the Sandwich

  • 1/2 piece zucchini (or cucumber sliced thin, lengthwise) Both add a refreshing crunch.
  • 1 handful baby spinach Can be substituted with arugula or mixed greens.
  • 1 small to medium tomato, sliced thin Ensure you get the juices, which adds flavor.
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons feta or goat cheese Try President Feta for authenticity.
  • 4 to 5 pieces chopped kalamata olives or a spoonful of olive tapenade
  • 2 slices whole grain bread Or your favorite bread.

Method

Toast the Bread

Notes

Serve with a side of fresh fruit or crunchy chips for added texture. Avoid sogginess by toasting the bread and layering drier ingredients first.
