Chef’s Note: Summertime is when we all are looking for that simple meal or snack that won’t add pounds to our weight and we will not feel guilty when we eat it. I came up with what I call my Gluten Free Italian Summer Snackwich. Just think a sandwich without the bread, instead, Iceberg salad leaves, so go on, you can have more than one and not feel guilty…Enjoy!
Ingredients needed:
• Fresh iceberg salad (5 to6 large leaves of lettuce)
• 2 to 3 slices of mozzarella cheese
• Two slices of large hot house-tomatoes (or your favourite tomato)
5 – 6 slices of San Daniele Mortadella
• 3 to 4 large pimento stuffed olives (chopped)
• A teaspoon of capers
To assemble your sandwich:
• Wash your lettuce and then gently dry it with a cloth
• Lay down your lettuce, onto your plate
• Place your thin sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the lettuce
• Place your slices of tomatoes on top of the mozzarella cheese
• Garnish tomato slices to taste (if you prefer)
• Place your San Daniele slices on top of the mozzarella cheese.
• Garnish by spreading the capers and diced pimento olives on top
• Dig in with your knife and fork
Tip: You can add another leaf on top and roll it up and eat it like a sandwich wrap!
