I’d love to pack up these sandwiches and take them vineyard hoping. Who wants to come with me!?
This sandwich is really simple, it may look fancy, but there is nothing fancy about the preparation! Pick out your favorite, sturdy bread. I used a whole wheat sourdough which held up really well and tasted delicious!
