The Inspiration For This Recipe:

As I mentioned a couple of days ago in my Paleo Sandwich Bread post, I’ve been rekindling my sandwich flame now that I have my bread avenue all figured out.

I’ve been on a years’-long sandwich hiatus, primarily because all’s I needed was some sandwich inspiration. Homemade grain-free paleo bread will be that for you.

I had all sorts of vegetables in my refrigerator that happened to fit together nicely for a garden vegetable sandwich.

So I grated, sliced, chopped them up, mashed a sweet potato I had already roasted, and laid it on thick over some herbed goat cheese-smeared bread.

While all of the veggies I employed went down with ease, you can use whatever you have on hand to mix it up in your own rainbow bright veggie-packed sandwich.

Things like spinach, tomato, hummus, and/or turkey deli meat, peanut butter, potato chips (<- just making sure you’re still listening…reading… Are you? Bueller?) would be great additions/substitutions.

Ingredients for This Garden Vegetable Sandwich:

Let me ask you this: Is it weird that I put strawberries in this sandwich? 

Can we even handle this situation? This is one of those times you’ll just have to inject all that faith and trust in me. They work, I do solemnly swear it.

Let’s face it: the herbed goat cheese is the real deal maker here.

Because I’m no fan of mayo, I use various cheeses and spreads to spruce up my sandwiches and make them un-dry.

Things like hummus, guacamole (or just mashed avocado), whole grain mustard, homemade aioli, and tzatziki, are my favorites.

Or just straight-up melted pepper jack, because: HELLO melty cheese is mouth-watering.

I took some plain jane goat cheese and combined it with a variety of fresh and dried herbs to bring some earthy flavor to this garden vegetable fest.

You can switch up your herb selections to your heart’s delight. No matter how you slice it, you’ll end up with a super healthy, vitamin-packed sandwich – perfect to bring to work for lunch!
