Sandwiches are vastly underappreciated.
People don’t give turkey the credit it deserves.
And I’ve completely re-fallen in love with pickles and cucumbers.
Among all of the cookies, pies, and tarts that I’ve been making as of late, the savory goodness of a simple sandwich has been unfortunately neglected. I had forgotten just how yummy a few tasty ingredients between some slices of bread can be.
Okay, I’ll stop waxing poetic about a turkey sandwich.
The point is, it’s delicious. Especially thanks to a cool, crisp cucumber slaw, filled with mini pickles, capers, and Dijon mustard. It punches up the flavor and makes an ordinary sandwich rather exciting.
Well, as exciting as a sandwich can be.
I think I’ve been on break for too long.
Find the recipe at Real Simple.
that is one gorgeous looking sandwich! yummy!
Simplicity and yumminess…I like it ;). Delicious-looking sandwich Koci!
Well, My Tummy just said Yummy!!! hehehe…Ah!The Cheesey me!!
Koci-Sandwiches are so underrated in food blogs…finally someone/you came up with a great idea for a yummy sandwich. I subscribe to Real Simple magazine, and love their simple recipes, and household tips.
Great slaw recipe…thanks for sharing!
that slaw sounds like pure awesomeness!!!! and such lovely wholesome bread too 🙂 – never underestimate the wow factor of a sandwich I always say…..
You are absolutely right! After all the cookies and candy and heavy holiday foods, a good sandwich can totally hit the spot!
There are two types of sandwich: There are the thinly filled, margarined, mean sandwiches made with nasty bread (bleaugh!) and there are the generous and thoughtful Koci version. Here's to honest-to-goodness simplicity.
@blackbookkitchendiaries: Thanks!
@Becky: Thank you!
@Cardamom Hills: hehehe These definitely made my tummy say "yummy!" too. 😀
@Elisabeth: Isn't Real Simple the greatest? I got another issue in the mail just the other day–always makes me smile.
@Mangiabella: That slaw was quite yummy…although it has officially pushed me over the edge into a mini pickle addiction. 😀
@Dana: My jeans are definitely thanking me for taking a break! Thanks! 🙂
@Hester: Aww, thank you! 😀
Beautiful photos! And it sounds delicious too!
I agree that sandwiches are underappreciated. Come to think of it, it has been a while since I have made a sandwich. I have been in the habit of leftovers for lunch so much lately.
This looks delish!!
I love a simple turkey sandwich. Throw pickles into the mix and I'm all about it! Sounds like a great recipe and a satisfying lunch.
