New Recipe: Grilled Veggie Sandwich

Oh boy.... this might be my new favorite summer sammie.

During my fabulous vacation on Cape Cod, my sister-in-law Beth and I made these from a Weight Watchers 15 Minute Five Ingredient Recipe Cookbook.  As always, we modified a bit, but look at this bad boy!

Perfect Sammie to take to the Beach!

Now that I'm at home, I am going to make another version of this sandwich that's more Jenny-friendly.  The scale showed a few additional pounds this morning (Gasp!), so no baguette for me!  

Grilled Veggie Sandwich

For the Grill:

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 orange bell pepper, sliced

1 purple onion, sliced

Grape Tomatoes

Yellow squash, sliced

Zucchini, sliced

Portabello mushrooms, sliced

2 Tbsp. Lite Vinaigrette or Jenny Balsalmic Dressing

(I used Ken's Lite Northern Italian Dressing with Basil and Romano)

For the Sandwich:

Spinach Leaves

Sliced English Cucumbers

Multi-Grain 100 Calorie Sandwich Thins

(I used Arnold's Multi-Grain Sandwich Thins)

Slice all of your grill veggies and place in a bowl.  Toss with dressing - choose a quantity to your liking.  Place in a grill basket.

Cook the veggies until they are deliciously browned and slightly charred.

At the Cape, we used a french baguette to make the sandwich; however, now that I'm home and back to reality, a Sandwich Thin sounds like a better idea.

Yum, Yum, Yum

Add a layer of spinach and cucumbers.  Top with your grilled veggies.  In this pic, I added a little extra vinaigrette to the tough french bread to soften things up (and I spilled it all over the cutting board.)











I hope you love this sandwich as much as I do!!!

Feel free to add any veggies you like to the sandwich.  For my personal sammie, I only use peppers, tomatoes, and onions on the grill with the cukes/spinach, and it tastes AWESOME!  The peppers develop MAD flavor on the grill.. seriously delish!  Another idea:  the original recipe called for some fat free feta, which we left out, which you may choose to add for protein.  I also think that a smear of Laughing Cow Cheese might be yummy.  Play with it!

HERE'S A TIP:  Make extra veggies!  They can hang out in your fridge and be added to any of your favorite Jenny foods or fresh salads.  They're delicious cold or warmed up!
