So I've just devoured a tasty homemade lunch and wanted to share. This afternoon I did a weight training session at Fitness4less, followed by an intense yoga class at Bikram City. By the time I came home, my appetite was ravenous or as the Italian would say "o fame da lupo!" I wanted something healthy, full of protein and delicious. The other day I made a quick salmon on rye sandwich for work and tweeted how good it was. Since I had more time after my workout, I decided to make it again, but with extra love.
This is what I did layering from top to bottom:
- One toasted Biona Organic Rye bread with amaranth & quinoa (much heartier than rye loaf and the quinoa adds extra protein)
- Spread with a think layer of Dijon mustard
- Topped with fresh spinach leaves
- Layered with thin slices of smoked salmon
- Squeeze of fresh lemon juice
- Add some slices of fresh tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes
- Drizzle with lil' bit of sun-dried tomato oil
- Sprinkle of capers, chili flakes and dried rosemary
OH MY GOD it was good. I will say that this is an acidic dish with the
vinegar from the mustard, tomatoes, lemon juice, capers and chili
flakes. I could see AA Gill slaughtering me about it from the list of
ingredients alone. But if you are like me and you like a bit of acidity
(think ceviche) then proceed, if not omit the lemon juice.
