Veggie Sammy with Lemon-Basil Tahini



The star of this delish little veggie sandwich is the layers of zesty lemon-basil tahini spread generously on each slice of bread. Next, it is topped with pickled red onions, adding yet another zippy flavor but void of a strong onion aftertaste (I'm a big fan of these pickled little gems!). Then, its time to add the crunchy sprouts, creamy avocado slices, whole basil leaves and mesculin greens. All the produce in this nutrient-packed palette pleaser are locally grown, organic and support our local farmers. Buy Local. Eat Fresh. Be Happy.
