Submitted by L. Duch

"This is a wonderful sandwich that is rich in flavor. The left over grilled veggies are good in some pasta drizzled with olive oil."

I too make a very similar sandwich which has lemon in the mayo/garlic dressing. I use oregano instead of garlic in my marinade & feta cheese is sooo good on this with the Foccacia bread.

Some good friends of our served us a dish very similar to this. It was SO good! She made a sauce out of mayo, garlic, and lemon juice for the sandwich spread. She served it on store-bought Foccacia bread. The grilled veggies, cheese (they used feta), and mayo sauce made the greatest combination.
