I have been getting into raw veggie sandwiches on these hot days, have you? Sometimes I’ll prepare some cooked up shrooms, but wow am I ever happy.
My array of sauces and dressings go delightfully with these light yet satiating hand-held snacks (or meals). Add a few ears of fresh sweet corn, my simple potatoe salad or a baked potato on the side. Or just double up on a savory Sammie.
Here are some I love.
A toasted tomato sandwich with Ezekiel bread, sprouts, lettuce, tomato and hummus. My Dijon dressing (see potato salad recipe on website) or even my Ranch or pesto sauce accompany any of these summer vegetables that are in their prime right now. You can even add in some baked tofu which contains phytoestrogens, which is incredible for menopause symptoms (Article on phytoestrogen).
Below is my sautéed oil free mushroom medley sandwich. Add in arugula, tomato and again, sauce or dressing of choice.
Another favorite that doesn’t get old, is a raw veg sandwich with a toasted everything bagel…the possibilities are really endless here.
I started out several years ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
