Instructions

4. Lay 2 slices of deli turkey or chicken on the bottom half of each roll.
5. Add one slice of cheddar or Swiss cheese on top of the meat.
6. Place a few leaves of baby spinach or a small handful of mixed greens over the cheese.
7. Add 2-3 slices of tomato. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and vinegar for extra flavor, if desired.
8. Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll, pressing gently to secure the filling.
9. For storage, wrap each sandwich tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap. Alternatively, place the sandwiches in airtight containers.
10. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Before eating, allow the sandwich to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes, or enjoy it chilled.
