Ultimate Family Sandwich

Serves 4

Prep time 20 minutes

1 loaf multigrain sandwich bread

1 lb roasted turkey breast, shaved

1 lb soft goat cheese fresh

8 oz sundried tomato puree

Dijon mustard to taste

2 avocados

1 cucumber, julienned

2 medium carrots, julienned

1/2 daikon radish

2 red peppers, julienned

1 bunch of green onions, julienned

1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar

1/2 leaf lettuce

2 large red tomatoes

Mayonnaise to taste

1 lemon for seasoning

Whip the goat cheese with the sundried tomato puree, season with some pepper and lemon juice and perhaps a drizzle of olive oil, set aside.

In a bowl mix all the julienne vegetables and add in it the rice vinegar, allow marinating for at least 15 minutes.

Remove the crust of the bread and slice into four equal slices lengthwise (use an electric bread slicer for accuracy).

Toast the bread slices lightly to improve the taste and lay them in front of you on a board, start by spreading some goat cheese on all of them.

On the first slice spread some Dijon mustard and line it with lettuce leaves, lay all the turkey evenly and equally.

On the second slice spread some mayonnaise (if you choose) then the tomatoes and avocado slices, squeeze some lemon juice all over it.

On the third slice again some mayonnaise and ten remove the julienne vegetables from the marinade and squeeze most of the vinegar out, loosen the vegetables up and place them on the bread.

Start assembling the sandwich by staking the slice with the tomato and avocado on top of the turkey and then placing the vegetable slice on top of that and topping it all of with the fourth slice placing it goat cheese down and pressing gently to set it.

Place the sandwich on a long platter and slice into eight equal slices and spike each one of them with skewers of cherry tomatoes and pickles.
