“While in Michigan with Roy for a weekend, I saw a sign that said, “Life is like a sandwich: you have to fill it with the best ingredients.” All I can say to that is YES.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know that even though I’m gluten-free, and one of my superpowers is making fabulous sandwiches. People always ask me why my sandwiches are so amazing. It’s because I curate each ingredient, from choosing fantastic salami, beautiful cheese and fabulous breads, to adding plenty of nocrumbsleft Magic Elixirs. This sandwich will be your hero!
Applegateis a natural for me, not only because their products are delicious, but because the care is there, from their humanely raised meats to their non-GMO cheeses. I love Applegate’s mission statement:“Changing The Meat We Eat®”, and their food philosophy that“The way food is raised can change and transform lives”¦from the farmer who grows it to the person who eats it.”These are just some of thethings that makes me so proud to be partnering with them!
“I’ve always said a sandwich is only as good as its ingredients. Mix and match and be limited only by your creativity.” Teri Turner

Start by spreading about 2 Tbsp of Smoky Red Pepper Sauce on each side of the bread. Add more as needed.
Then begin to layer your ingredients. Start with salami, cheese (cut in ½), avocado, greens (lightly salted), pickles, marinated onions and pepperoncinis.

Description
One of my Magic Elixirs that is an absolute must!
Ingredients
- 2 medium sized, red bell peppers
- 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1½ tsp salt, divided
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 cup Whole30 mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Whole30 compliant hot sauce
- ¼ tsp cayenne
Instructions
Preheat the broiler and raise the oven rack to 5 or 6 inches below the heat source.
Place the bell peppers on a baking sheet and drizzle evenly with oil. Sprinkle ½ tsp of the salt and pepper over them. Broil until charred, about 15 minutes. Flip the peppers over and broil, flipping every 5 minutes until completely charred, – minutes more. Remove them from the oven and let cool.
Remove and discard the charred skin, seeds and stems. Tip: You can also put it in a paper bag for 15 minutes to let it sweat and easily remove the skin.
Transfer the peppers to a blender or food processor. Add the mayonnaise, vinegar, the remaining 1 tsp of salt, hot sauce and the cayenne. Blend until smooth.
Serve immediately or store in and airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Sandwich Guide modified from ”˜How to become a spectacular sandwich maker’ in my book.
#1 PROTEIN: Absolutely use one of Applegate’s Natural or Organic sandwich meats, my Everyday Roast Chicken Breast, or your own leftovers”¦
#2 CHEESE: I love Applegate’swonderful Cheddar, Provolone, Mozzarella and Muenster cheeses.
#3 “THE WRAPPER”: Always get reallylovely fresh regular or gluten-free crackers, a baguette, or crisp iceberglettuce leaves. If you are
#4 GREENS AND VEGETABLES: Try Bostonlettuce, baby arugula, or a nice loose mix of greens. Extra layers of seasonalvegetables like summer tomatoes and ripe avocado or a fresh slaw can take yoursandwich to the next level.
#5 SPREAD AND SAUCE: Magic Elixirsanyone? When making a sauce, I like to start with mayo and riff from there—justenough hot sauce to make a beautiful color; ketchup or mustard for taste; and alittle bit of something pickled, like a caper or dill pickle. Experiment andplay. Stir it up, and spread it on.
#6 EXTRAS: Marinated Onions, and a drizzle of the oil, pepperoncini, cornichons, marinated artichoke hearts, or your favorite olives will add a final, delicious layer of flavor to finish your sandwich.
