CALIFORNIA VEGGIE SANDWICH

Steps:

• step 1: grab your spread
• Who needs mayo when you have spinach dip!?
• You can snag a store-bought variety or save yourself some dough and make your own!
• step 2: choose your carb
• One word: pumpernickel. It's perfection and a life-long addiction I credit to my papa. Most bakeries and grocery stores will carry a few variations: dark rye with onion, marbled rye, and perfect plain pumpernickel will compliment the spinach dip like no other. The heartier the bread you choose the better! Look for multi-grain blends and whole grains galore.
• step 3: veg it up!
• This is where you essentially empty out your crisper drawer and pile on all. the. veggies. Thinly slice carrots, bell peppers, avocado, cucumber, and tomatoes and pile on your favorite lettuce and sprouts.
• step 4: faceplant
• Spread a hearty layer of spinach dip on each slice of bread, pile on the vegetables and enjoy!
• To whip this up in record time, plan ahead by making the spread and slicing your veggies in advance, then store them tightly wrapped in your fridge. When it's time to eat, all you'll have to do is assemble and annihilate your yummy sandwich!
