The Sandwich Gets a Makeover

“Too few people understand a really good sandwich,” once declared James Beard, the famed American chef and food writer.

This week, the lowly sandwich gets a makeover from Martha Rose Shulman, who offers combinations of sardines, smoked trout, salmon, goat cheese, roasted peppers, Greek salad and tofu to create delicious and portable sandwiches that make for a satisfying meal.

Smoked Trout Salad, Cucumber and Roasted Pepper Sandwich: Packed in oil, smoked trout lends itself to a mixture a bit like tuna salad.

Greek Salad Sandwich: A Greek salad on a bun makes a satisfying meal.

Marinated Tofu Sandwich With Asian Greens: Use the leftover marinade to make another meal.

Smoked Salmon Sandwich With Goat Cheese:A goat cream cheese inspired this sandwich.

Spinach and Sardine Sandwich: This creation uses the classic Mediterranean combination of sardines and spinach.
