I have cut the grains out of my diet for now, and that leaves me longing for a sandwich here and there. Wait! I can still have the sandwich, just not the bread.
Why should one deny themselves the love? After all, the inside of the sandwich is just as important as the vehicle.
A popular sandwich down south is cured ham, avocado and sweet butter. This salad is a re-creation of that sandwich. Instead of bread being the vehicle, I used baby spinach. What a tasty difference.

No grains? Is that because of diabetes? This salad is exactly the sort of thing I make for myself when I am home alone. GREG
