SANDWICH LAYERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Cut focaccia horizontally in half. Spread pesto on both cut sides of focaccia.
• Layer salami, lettuce, tomatoes, turkey and cheese on bottom of focaccia; add top of focaccia. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Cut into 6 wedges.

Steps:

• 1. In the food processor mix the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
• 2. Put 3/4 of the mixture in a bowl and set aside.
• 3. Add the roasted red pepper pieces to the food processor with remaining 1/4 of the cream cheese mixture. Puree until smooth.
• 4. On a serving plate place 1 1/2 slices of bread and center on the plate. Spread with 1/4 of the roasted red pepper spread, taking care to not let it run down the sides.
• 5. Shingle slices of avocado (make 2 layers), slightly overlapping covering the top of the bread. Sprinkle with green olive slices and green onion.
• 6. Spread one side of another slice and a half of bread with another 1/4 of the red pepper spread and lay, red pepper spread side down, over the green onions.
• 7. Now spread the top with another 1/4 of the red pepper spread.
• 8. Shingle slices of cucumber (make 2 layers), slightly overlapping covering the top of the bread. Sprinkle with chopped dill and lemon zest. Layer with shaved carrot.
• 9. Spread one side of another slice and a half of bread with another 1/4 red pepper spread and lay, red pepper spread side down over the carrot.
• 10. Press down slightly with your hands to pack it all in. If anything runs out the sides clean it up with a paper towel.
• 11. Use the white cream cheese/sour cream mixture that you set aside to ice the cake keeping the sides smooth.
• 12. Decorate with all the garnishments in a summer-outdoor motif or vegetable polka dots.
