    beet sandwich
    If I told you, I had the best sandwich, ever, at a college varsity sporting event, you won't believe me.

    But I did.

    It was so divine that I devoured it in three bites and I didn't even have a chance to take out my phone to take a photo.

    Murphy's Law; When you need a camera, you run out of battery. Fact. Film would have been the answer if we are talking about the 80's.

    Usually, vegetarian options at sports events are either a questionable Tuna Fish sandwich or some wilted lettuce leaves with anorexic slivers of carrot shavings. But at this particular event, I had a real sandwich. No. More than just a sandwich. I had a meal.

    I had Beets Sandwich with Caramelized Onions, Candied Walnuts and Goat Cheese on Multigrain Bread.

    I. kid. you. not.

    I've been thinking about that sandwich ever since and I just had to make it again, with some of my own favorite ingredients,

    I added roasted peppers to balance out the sweetness of the beets, apple slices, and candied walnuts.

    Whoever paired caramelized onions to sandwiches was a genius. I sauteed mine with some drizzled balsamic vinegar.

    And then, I piled up mile high on a multi-grain Panini bread, layering without thinking how the heck am I going to bite into this stack.

    Then, I made one for my carnivorous Accidental Recycler. Because I am nice.

    Admiring at the deliciousness.

    Two minutes later....

    Stop drooling and make the sandwich. Go on.

    Beets, Caramelized Onions, and Apple Walnut Sandwich

    • 8 slices of Pickled Beets
    • 1 Roasted Peppers
    • ½ Med Red Onion, sauteed in EVOO and 1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar
    • 6 Apple Slices - any variety
    • Crumbled Blue Cheese or Goat Cheese
    • Candied Walnuts or Plain Walnuts
    • Multi-Grain Bread

    Layer the ingredients on the bread and devour!

    **To make it vegan, leave out the cheese.

      Roasted peppers and beets? Together? Just rubbing against each other? Never would have thought!
