Hey there, friends!
Before we get to today?s recipe, I have a small confession.
I actually made and photographed this sandwich over a year ago.  We are talking, January 2017 here.
But I absolutely detested the original photos.  And, the longer I held on to the post, the more my resistance to share the photos grew.
However, the lackluster photos didn?t stop me from devouring this smashingly scrumptious sandwich for lunch on repeat. So, I finally decided it was time to get off my butt, remake and re-photograph the recipe.
And boy, oh boy, am I glad I did, because this sandwich ROCKS and most definitely NEEDS to be shared!
Without further ado, let me introduce you to my favorite lunch, which by the way, can double as a salad OR a sandwich.
Hello lunch goals 2018.
