On a recent episode of Modern Family, one of the characters had a sandwich named after him. That prompted a discussion with my fiance about what our signature sandwich would be. Since I can’t eat cheese, my options are a bit limited. When I lived in Italy, I used to eat a gigantic sandwich every day for lunch, piled with the finest Italian ingredients. It’s not quite the same here in the States, but here it is, the Julia Sandwich Special!

1. Fresh sliced tomatoes
2. Drizzle of good balsamic vinegar
3. Homemade vegan pesto
4. Freshly baked baguette
5. Hot Italian peppers
6. Extra virgin olive oil
7. Applegate Organic salami
