Sandwiches: A Classic with a Twist

The humble sandwich is a lunch staple for a reason – it's versatile, portable, and easily customizable. But why settle for the same old ham and cheese? Take your sandwich game to the next level with these healthy twists:

• Mediterranean Delight: Spread hummus or pesto, top with roasted vegetables like eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers, add crumbled feta cheese, and drizzle with balsamic glaze for a flavor explosion.
• Turkey Powerhouse: Layer lean turkey slices, avocado slices, baby spinach, and a sprinkle of cranberry sauce for a satisfying and protein-packed lunch.
• Caprese on the Go: Layer fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic glaze for a taste of Italy.

Salad Sensations: More Than Just Lettuce

Salads are often associated with being light and healthy, but sometimes they fall short on the "hearty" front. With the right ingredients and a Great Harvest bread companion, you can create a salad that keeps you full and energized. Here are some ideas:

• Power Bowl Salad: Build a bowl filled with chopped romaine lettuce, quinoa, grilled chicken or tofu, roasted sweet potato cubes, black beans, and a sprinkle of your favorite chopped vegetables. Drizzle with a light vinaigrette and add a toasted slice of our Dakota 4 Seed for a satisfying crunch.
• Cobb with a Twist: Give the classic Cobb salad a healthy spin with our Whole Grain Lo Carb bread. Start with mixed greens, grilled chicken breast, crumbled avocado, chopped bacon, cherry tomatoes, and hard-boiled egg slices. Finish it off with a light vinaigrette for a balanced and delicious meal.
• Mediterranean Chickpea Salad: Toss together cooked chickpeas, chopped cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, Kalamata olives, and crumbled feta cheese with a lemon-olive oil dressing. Serve this salad on a bed of mixed greens with a piece of our Bruschetta Twist for a taste of the Mediterranean.
