Cheddar + Swiss, Fuji Apple, and Avocado Sandwich

This post was sponsored by Sargento as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

My friends are usually surprised when I tell them that cold sandwiches top my favorite foods list, because they assume that as a vegetarian, I wouldn't have a lot of options. And I suppose when it comes to traditional sandwiches, you do think of ham or salami or turkey as the main ingredient. For me though, the key ingredient for a really great cold sandwich is a few slices of my favorite cheeses, usually combined with avocado. From there, the possibilities are endless, guys. My newest go-to sandwich (or sammy, as Essley likes to call them) includes crisp Fuji apple slices, hearty multigrain bread, and some truly delicious cheeses - and it is so, so good. It's easy to put together, perfect for summertime, and full of flavor. And whether you're a veg or a full on meat fan, you're going to love it.

Makes 1 sandwich. 

INGREDIENTS
2 pieces of good quality multi grain bread
3 slices of Sargento Swiss Slices
3 slices of Sargento Smokehouse Cheddar™Slices
1/2 Fuji apple (or your favorite apple variety)
1/3-1/2 avocado
stoneground mustard (optional)

Spread a small amount of stoneground mustard on one side of one piece of bread. Cut apple and avocado into thin slices. Layer cheeses, apple slices, and avocado slices on one piece of bread and top with the other piece. Cut sandwich in half and eat. That's it!

The tart sweetness and crisp texture of the Fuji apple combined with the richness of the avocado, the bold smoky flavor of the Sargento Smokehouse Cheddar™, and the nutty flavor of the Sargento Swiss makes for a truly incredible sandwich. My kids love it (without the mustard), and even my meat sandwich loving husband adores it. It's the perfect sandwich for lunch, for dinner paired with a spring green salad, for summertime picnics, or to serve at parties.

While the combination of ingredients truly makes this sandwich, the star of the show is the Sargento® Slices, which are always at the top of our list when we head to Meijer for our weekly groceries. (Psssst... If you head over to your local Meijer between now and July 15th, make sure to use the mperks offer for $1 off 2 Sargento® Slices products! In order to use the mperks offer, users must be an mperks Member. Just search "Sargento" for the coupon offer and you're good to go.) Sargento®  100% Real, Natural Cheese comes in a variety of slices (in addition those included in this sandwich, my other favorites are Sharp Cheddar and Ultra Thin® Provolone) that are perfect for whatever sandwich you're making (or any recipe that calls for sliced cheese). Whenever I bring the kids to Meijer with me, Essley heads right over to the cheese aisle and grabs a pack of Sargento® slices (right before she starts unsuccessfully begging for sugar and preservative filled packaged desserts, but that's a whole different post). Both she and Emmett love eating them alone as a snack in addition to in the sandwiches Robbie and I make. It's a win win for the whole family.
