Look I don’t usually get excited enough about a dang sandwich to write up a whole dang blog about it but I’ve been making this sandwich from Cara Mangini’s The Vegetable Eater.

I mean on paper it is a mere cucumber sandwich. But do not scoff. This is not a dainty tea party delicacy. No it is a hearty meal. Probably because it has cheese and avocado and pesto on it so it’s good and fatty.

Anyway try this sandwich!
