The Best Beach Sandwich
This is the Best Beach Sandwich for all your summer visits to the ocean! Also delicious for lake days and picnics!
Ingredients
Sun-Dried Tomato Butter
- 1/3 Cup Salted Butter softened
- 1/4 Cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes in oil
- Pinch Salt
- Fresh-Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Marinated Avocado
- Juice from 1/2 Lemon
- Pinch Salt
The Beach Sandwich
- 1 12" Loaf Ciabatta Bread
- 1/2 Lb Deli Turkey
- 1/4 Lb White Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 Cup Fresh Basil Leaves
- 1/2 Cup Pickles sliced
- 2 Cups Arugula
- Drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Pinch Salt
Instructions
- Start by prepping your sun-dried tomato butter. Add the softened (NOT melted) butter to a bowl, then mix in the sun-dried tomatoes. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste. Set aside.
- Prep your avocado by pitting it, removing the skin, and cutting it into thin slices. In a small bowl, mix the avocado slices with the juice from 1/2 lemon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until all the slices are coated.
- Cut your loaf of bread in half. Spread on the sun-dried tomato butter on both sides.
- Layer on the ingredients in this order - cheddar cheese, turkey, basil leaves, avocado slices, slices pickles, and arugula. Over the top of the arugula, drizzle a little bit of extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Fold the sandwich, then using a serrated knife, cut into as many sections as you like.
- To take the sandwich to the beach, wrap the sections of sandwich in parchment paper and twine.
- Enjoy! :)
Notes
- I recommend using ciabatta bread or a baguette for this recipe. You want a sturdy bread that isn't too soft, that will hold up well on hot beach days!
- Don't skip marinating the avocado in lemon juice - it keeps it green and fresh.
- You can omit the turkey if you like - there's enough ingredients in here to make a very filling and delicious sandwich!
