Ingredients
Scale
Salad Sandwich
- 1 soft bread roll, wholemeal or white (or sliced bread, wraps)
- 1 small carrot, peeled, grated (3/4 cup lightly packed per sandwich)
- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1 lightly packed cup baby spinach leaves (or rocket, sliced iceberg, kale, cos/romaine, or other leafy greens)
- 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts, tightly packed
- 1/2 tomato, sliced into 3–4 rounds
- 3–4 canned beetroot slices
- Few pinches salt and pepper
Dressing
- 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar (or red wine/white wine vinegar)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 small garlic clove, finely grated or crushed
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare Dressing and Carrot: Whisk the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, grated garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour about three-quarters of the dressing into a separate bowl, then add the grated carrot. Toss the carrot gently using your fingers to evenly coat it with dressing. Reserve the remaining dressing for later use.
- Smash the Avocado: Using a fork, smash the avocado flesh directly in its skin with a generous pinch of salt and pepper to season. Alternatively, scoop the flesh into a bowl and mash if preferred or scaling up the recipe.
- Dress the Baby Spinach: Just before assembling the sandwich, toss the baby spinach leaves in the remaining dressing, ensuring the bowl’s sides are wiped clean to incorporate all the flavors.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Cut the bread roll in half horizontally. Spread the smashed avocado generously (about 1/3 to 1/2 cup) on both the bottom and top halves. Lay the tomato slices on the bottom half and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Layer the dressed baby spinach on top of the tomato, followed by the beetroot slices, dressed carrot, and finally the alfalfa sprouts. Close the sandwich with the top half of the bread roll.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once assembled, enjoy your fresh and wholesome Nagi’s Salad Sandwich immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- This sandwich is highly adaptable: feel free to substitute baby spinach with other leafy greens like kale, rocket, or romaine depending on preference.
- You can use wholemeal or white bread rolls, sliced bread, or wraps according to your choice.
- For a vegan option, ensure the bread contains no animal products.
- If beetroot is not preferred, other pickled vegetables or sliced cucumbers can be used.
- Adjust the amount of dressing based on taste and quantity of vegetables used.
