Sandwich of the Day: The Veggie

 


Another old post from the Kinja Archive: 5/17/18

Bonus sandwich. Starving about to watch Beetlejuice Blu-ray. My mother gave me a bag of homegrown cucumber and lettuce, and an avocado. I made a version of this when I was a professional sandwich maker that was popular. People would bring in their own avocado since there was no guarantee I would have ripe ones on any given day. Easier to build on sub-type bread too. Avocado, purple onion, cucumber, lettuce (or sprouts), cheese, Creole mustard and mayo.
