122. Green giant sandwich

INGREDIENTS:
(Makes 2 sandwiches)
4 slices pumpernickel bread
Handful of spinach
Handful of arugula
Goat cheese, at room temperature
½ green apple, thinly sliced
½ avocado, thinly sliced
½ leek, diced
½ lemon, juiced
1 tsp Dijon
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp sherry vinegar
Salt and pepper
For the Leek Vinaigrette and Sandwich:
- Dice the white and light green parts of the leek. Rinse well in cold water to remove grit and dirt.
- Heat a small sauce pan and slowly sweat the leeks in olive oil. Do not let the leeks develop any color. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Once leeks are softened, remove from heat. Let cool briefly, then add Dijon, lemon juice, and sherry vinegar. Whisk to combine, let come to room temperature.
- To assemble the sandwich, first spread goat cheese onto both pieces of bread. Dress the spinach and arugula in the leek vinaigrette and layer those greens on there!
- Add sliced apples and avocado. Press sandwich together tightly and munch.
