With a little practice, college students can revitalize sandwiches into tasty, imaginative and healthy meals. This chicken salad pita with bacon could be one scrumptious result.
Adult-themed sandwiches can pack flavorful oomph
Macaroni and cheese, pizza and alphabet soup were definitely my favorite foods as a child. Yet, the most versatile and favored food of them all was the sandwich.
As children, we developed a love/hate relationship with sandwiches. We loved the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwiches but always hated the tuna fish sandwiches.
Growing older, though, many of us began to appreciate the more retro sandwiches. You know, retro meaning a ham and Swiss cheese sandwich with a little Grey Poupon and mayonnaise. Condiments like these were not the kind of things any child wanted on a tasty sandwich.
Even though college students are typically out of the picky eating stage, some still have the kid mentality when making a sandwich. They slap on some kind of meat, cheese, condiments; bada-bing, bada-boom and it's done. Not a whole lot of originality going on there.
I know what you are thinking, though. Sandwiches aren't supposed to be complicated. They're supposed to be easy to make. Well, they can still be easy to make and even taste better if you add a little oomph to them.
For example, next time you make a grilled cheese sandwich, add some sliced tomatoes, Monterey jack and provolone cheese. Instead of butting the outside of the bread, brush on olive oil. Or when you make a turkey sandwich, add slices of avocado, bacon and alfalfa sprouts.
