Summer time means picnic time! It also means making foods that does not require you to light your stove.
I love a good sandwich. I love different types of sandwiches and different types of meats or vegetables that makes it up. There are so many different types of spreads that is available to put a different spin on your sandwich.
The premise behind a cold press sandwich is to make it ahead and place a heavy weight on top to help press it together. Therefore when you slice it, it will hold its shape beautifully.
It is such a great sandwich to prepare ahead and to take to picnics. I took this a step further and made it fancy with some wax paper and kitchen string! It makes it more appealing to the eyes. And we do eat with our eyes first. These are also great with slices of smoked salmon. Different varieties of spinach or lettuce. Try that you like.
I used a cheese and almond spread on one of the loaves of bread instead of cream cheese and that worked and tasted great too. the spread has to be a thick layer to help prevent moisture. Because no one likes a soggy sandwich.
I hope you give this Cold Pressed Sandwich a try today or for your next picnic!
