This classic lunchtime staple is even better when you throw on a bit of color and crunch. If you build a sandwich correctly (skip the white bread and mayonnaise), the taste of nutty whole grains, meaty protein, and savory cheese can make you forget there's anything vegetable-like inside. In between those slices of tremendous turkey or rock-star roast beef, add some dark leafy greens, maybe some peppers, onions, and freshly sliced tomatoes. The added crunch and burst of vitamins and minerals they provide will further elevate your sandwich game.
