Good bread, lots of vegies and time to make a salad sandwich! Luxury! Just what I needed on a warm summer’s day!I’d been to Fatto a Mano (Gertrude Street, Fitzroy) and bought a loaf of their fine pumpkin and cumin bread. I’d had a yen to buy fresh beetroot at the supermarket – which always takes me back to my days making salad rolls as a volunteer at the university food co-op.
This salad sandwich is different to my standard one with cheese. I meant to include cheese but forgot and it really didn’t matter. This sandwich had plenty of taste and texture - peanut butter, shredded baby spinach, sliced tomato, grated carrot, grated beetroot, mung bean sprouts, freshly ground black pepper and avocado.
I want to recommend you try this fantastic combination, but the joy of salad sandwiches is fossicking in the crisper of the fridge and letting inspiration lead you. So instead I wish you the weather and whim to make salad sandwiches!

so simple yet perfect yum yum. Is it cooling down yet??
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your sandwich philosophy - namely, trying a new combination of whatever looks good at the moment! I think pumpkin and cumin bread definitely fits that bill nicely :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried or thought of peanut butter with a salad sandwhich, but it sounds good. Will give it a go!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is SOME sandwich. Sounds and looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThanks Flower - it is cooler for a couple of days and then heating up again next week
ReplyDeletethanks Chris - new combinations are always good - and usually inspired by what is at hand!
Thanks Kristy - I confess to being a big fan of peanut butter - but the Melb Uni food co-op used to do peanut butter in their salad rolls which I loved - not sure if they still do
ReplyDeleteThanks AForkful - I love a full salad sandwich - but it never looks pretty eating it :-)
This is the second recipe I've read for PB and veggies in a sandwich--I think I must be missing something!
ReplyDeleteI love this approach to making sandwiches too! Yours sounds *really* good, with a lovely range of crunches and flavours. I can see why you didn't miss the cheese!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ricki - peanut butter is one of those things that comes and goes in popularity in our house and is the thing of the moment!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lysy - I do like cheese in salad sandwiches but it is good to have a change
This looks like a combination I will try, I love all the ingredients that you have listed. It is always good to experiment you never know when you will create a master piece :)
