Best left over sandwich

Hello 2025!

What truly makes this sandwich special isn’t the balsamic dressing on the arugula, or the caramelized onions or even the absolutely delicious bread (even though they each had their role)…


it’s the delicious roasted garlic and horseradish mayonnaise that adds that something special and keeps you coming back for more.

Recipe

Ingredients
▢ 2 tbsp mayonnaise
▢ 1 tsp creamy horseradish
▢ 16 cloves roasted garlic

Instructions
To make spread, combine 2 tbsp mayonnaise and 1 tsp creamy horseradish. Pulverize and mix with the horseradish mayo so that it mixes evenly and add to what ever your imagination comes up with

Notes

To roast garlic- cut off top and add 2 tablespoons olive oil and bake at 400 Fahrenheit for 45 minutes or until golden brown

-arugula in sandwich is salt and peppered and dressed with remaining oil from roasted garlic and splash of balsamic dressing
