Summer Cookout cannot be complete without..



Grilled Sandwiches!



This Sandwich pictured above, has Roasted red pepper smoky dip, roasted cauliflower, roasted sweet potato slices and greens. Made with my White Sandwich Bread. The smoky cauliflower, sweet potatoes and the sweet pepper dip makes this a keeper. Roast the veggies, whip up the dip and keep ready. Put the bread slices on the grill, layer the veggies and hummus, grill up and serve. No Cheese needed. Add some vegan cheddar slices if you wish.
