Veggie Delight!

This week I decided to cook a vegetarian recipe. I am not a big meat eater myself, in fact I have to take protein supplements to make up for it. I am however a huge fan of vegetables. I have tried vegetarian recipes that call for meat substitutes before and I feel that it is a hit or miss situation. It is either extremely delicious or tastes wretched. I decided to avoid that risk and make something that did not require a meat substitute.

I choose a California Grilled Veggie Sandwich recipe. This grilled zucchini, red onions, yellow squash, and red bell peppers on focaccia bread with a mayonnaise mix topped with feta cheese.

First you mix ¼ cup of mayonnaise, three minced cloves of garlic, and ones tablespoon of lemon juice, set it in the refrigerator. Next you must slice the vegetables; I have added a video of how to safely slice them. The amount I used is based on what I liked the most, it is personal preference. Next, brush the sliced vegetables with olive oil. Preheat the grill. The directions say to put the vegetables on the grill, I suggest you put it in aluminum foil, this causes the vegstables to cook faster and evenly. After you remove the vegetables from the grill it is time to assemble the sandwich. Slice the bread horizontally, than add the mayonnaise mixture to the bread. After that add your vegetables and top it with crumbled feta cheese and it is good to eat!

I thought this recipe was delicious and very filling; it is also very healthy and fast to make. I recommend this for anyone, even if you are not a big vegetable person, it is still very good. You could even add grilled slices of chicken if you wanted meat on it but the vegetarian way is definitely worth a try.
