Fresh Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich
A colorful and satisfying vegetarian sandwich packed with Mediterranean flavors.
recipesbynani.comThis Mediterranean sandwich is one of my favorite go to lunches when I want something fresh and filling. It is incredibly simple to put together and feels like a little treat in the middle of a busy day.
My best tip for this recipe is to use the best quality bread you can find. A nice sourdough or a crusty ciabatta really makes a big difference when you are piling on all those delicious vegetables and creamy cheese.

If you are packing this for work, keep the pesto in a separate container and add it right before eating to prevent the bread from getting soggy. You can also store leftovers in the fridge for a few hours, but these are best enjoyed fresh.
