What are you going to do with all those hard boiled eggs you decorated for Easter? I have a delicious Egg Sandwich with Creamy Herbal Dressing recipe I think you will like that will help get some of those eggs off your hands!
Stacked with vegetables, this sandwich is not only delicious but nutritious. I’ve been trying to approach every meal with the question: How many fruits and/or vegetables can I fit into this meal? This sandwich is one where you can stack the vegetables as high as you please.
The success of this sandwich is partially dependent on your bread. My King Soopers sells bread from a local bakery: La Baguette. I love their hearty breads when making a sandwich the star of the plate.
When buying your bread, check to make sure the first ingredient is whole wheat. If your bread says “multigrain” it often times is not whole grain.
While I’m calling this a recipe, it is definitely more of a suggestion. Vary the vegetables as you please and substitute whatever fresh herbs you have on hand in the dressing.
