Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

diner524's Note:

This is a recipe I found on TOH website which sounds like it would be a good and healthy non-meat lunch. Here is what the author of the recipe states: "Wow! Meat lovers won’t even miss the meat, but they will rave about the simply fabulous flavor of this hearty grilled veggie sandwich! It’s wonderful with ciabatta bread’s crispy crust and light, airy texture. This recipe’s a keeper! Diana Tseperkas – Hamden, CT. Living here in FL, especially during the hot summers, I really appreciate grilled recipes to help keep the house cooler.

This was an awesome sandwich! I cut it down for lunch for just the 2 of us. We enjoyed it very much. I just love grilled veggies anyway so this was sure to be a winner with us.

Oh so good! I used whole grain bread instead of ciabatta. I loved the lemon and garlic in the mayo. Thanks for a great lunch! I did scale the recipe down for one. :)
