Shopping List
-
For the Sandwich
- 2 ciabatta bread rolls (or gluten-free crusty bread)
- 4 slices havarti or provolone cheese (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 small handfuls arugula
- 1/2 small fennel bulb
- 2 radishes
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1/2 large tomato, sliced For the Aioli
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (dairy or non-dairy)
- 2 tablespoons basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 garlic clove, grated
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Combine all of the aioli ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Stir and refrigerate. Note: When grating the garlic, use your finger to scoop up any garlic bits stuck to the grater.
- Step 2: Remove the top stalk from the fennel bulb and chop it into quarters. Use a vegetable peeler to peel very thin slices of fennel. Finely slice any pieces that cannot be peeled. Set aside.
- Step 3: Slice the radish bulbs as thinly as possible using a knife or vegetable peeler. Set aside.
- Step 4: Place the arugula in a small bowl and toss with a little olive oil and salt.
- Step 5: Halve the ciabatta rolls and toast in a 400 degrees Fahrenheit oven (or in a skillet over medium-high heat) until warm and lightly crisped.
- Step 6: Assembly time! Spread a generous amount of the aioli on both halves of the bread. Build the sandwich (in order) with the cheese slices, sliced fennel, radish, tomatoes, arugula, and avocado. Top with the other aioli-ed bread slice.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy!
