Grilled Vegetable Sandwich

The sandwich rules around my house. We eat them all the time. We will eat them for lunch and dinner. Sandwiches make my life easy.

Today I decided to make a Grilled Vegetable Sandwich using fresh vegetables.

I was looking for something a little more than some lunch meat thrown together for today.

With all the fresh from Florida summer vegetables available this time of year I decided to make something special for lunch today.

Making a grilled vegetable sandwich is a little more work but it is so good that the extra work is worth it.

Since I own an electric grill I can throw some vegetables on there and have a bunch ready in no time.

I also made a special Red Hot Chili Pepper Mayo sandwich spread for my Grilled Vegetable Sandwich using Mezzetta® Red Hot Chili Pepper Everything Spread.

I love the Mezzetta® Everything spreads.

I have tried the Sun Dried Roasted Tomato Everything Spread and the Red Hot Chili Pepper Everything spreads.

They both taste awesome and are a low carb spread alternative if you are eating a low carb diet and want to add flavor to sandwiches and wraps.

To make this grilled vegetable sandwich the first thing you need to do is make the Red Hot Chili Pepper sandwich spread by mixing 1 1/2 tablespoons Mezzetta® Red Hot Chili Pepper Everything Spread and 1/2 cup mayo. Mix well and cover.

Place in the refrigerator while you make the grilled vegetables.

For my Grilled Vegetable Sandwich, I decided to grill fresh eggplant, yellow squash, zucchini, and red onion.

Prepare the vegetables by slicing them into about 1/4 inch thick slices.

Place them on a cookie sheet and brush them with olive oil, chopped garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper.

Grill them 5-8 minutes on the first side. Turn them and grill them another 5-8 minute. Remove the vegetables from the grill and assemble your sandwich.
