Balsamic Vegetable & Cottage Cheese Sandwich

This sandwich is for all my veggie lovers! This sandwich is stacked with tons of balsamic marinated vegetables, and then has a creamy cottage cheese spread that is super tasty, and high in protien.

How to make this Balsamic Vegetable & Cottage Cheese Sandwich

This recipe is super simple, with an easy marinade on some in-season vegetables like roasted peppers, scallions and zucchini. Then I combined cottage cheese, dijon, balsamic and olive for a creamy high protein spread. Everything is added to a toasted ciabatta loaf for the perfect, high protein add. This one is super easy, packed with protein and perfect for lunch.

The rest:

Instructions 

• Preheat oven or grill to 400. Slice veggies- zucchini into strips, scallions in half and peppers into fourths. Drizzle with balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper. Lay on a baking sheet and roast for about 20 min, turning halfway through. Veggies are done when they are softened and nicely roasted.
• Make cottage cheese dip by blending cottage cheese, dijon, balsamic, olive oil, salt and pepper in a food processor or blender. It should be smooth and creamy. 
• Toast bread and spread a healthy spoonful on each slice. Add veggies and a handful of arugula. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

You could opt to grill the vegetables instead of roasting in the oven. If so, Preheat grill to 400 and cook for 10-15 min, turning halfway through.
