BLTs

Not exactly a recipe, but it's one of our favorites. It's good with pasta salad and fruit on the side.

Pita bread
Thick-cut bacon
Leaf lettuce (green or red)
Tomatoes
Mayo
Salt and Pepper

Slice the pita bread in half and split open. Spread with mayo and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer in lettuce, tomato, and one slice of bacon per pita half.

Turkey Pesto Sandwiches

I ordered a similar sandwich at Starbucks a few years ago and decided I could make it at home. It's my favorite for a casual lunch or picnic. I really don't like cranberries, but love them on this sandwich.

Mayonaise
Jarred pesto
Deli turkey meat
Dried cranberries
Romaine lettuce
Ciabatta-type bread or rustic roll

Mix some mayo and pesto in a bowl to taste.

Cut the bread in half and place on a work surface, cut side up. Spread the pesto mayonaise on both sides and sprinkle cranberries on the bottom halves. Arrange the turkey over the cranberries and top with chiffonade lettuce. Top with other piece of bread and press to adhere.
