GARDEN SALAD SANDWICHES
My mother used to serve these. She grew tomatoes and lettuce, and this was a good way to use them up when they were plentiful. These are technically not sandwiches. What they are is slices of bread topped with a mixture of mostly salad vegetables and then grilled. There's a lot of room for variation, hence the absence of exact amounts.
slices of bread
Topping:
chunks of cheese (my mother used American cheese)
diced cucumber
diced tomatoes
crumbled bacon
diced celery
chopped celery
mayonnaise
mix the topping ingbredients together and put some on each slice of bread. Then put the topped bread into an oven and grill for five to ten minutes. 350 degrees should do. If the ingredients on top start to turn black, it's time to remove from the oven. You definitely want the chese to start melting. It's amazing how many of these you end up wanting to eat, they are that good!
