I am too frugal to spend my money out on a lunch each day. I take classes 4 full days a week. Everyone goes out and buys pizza, sub sandwiches, Chinese foods, etc. There is no way I will even start doing that. Most of the time, I bring what ever I make from my dinner the night before.

Now with the hot weather, I love cold sandwiches. Though I am fussy about making them fresh and not soggy for the next day.

Ingredients:

Sandwich Sauce
2 Tbsp Hellman's mayonnaise
1 Tbsp Dijon brown spicy mustard
1 Tbsp dill relish
Tbsp salt & pepper to taste
Sandwich Fixings
4 slices Plum tomato, paper thin
1 handful romaine hearts, chopped fine
1 Joseph's pita bread, cut in half
1/8 lb rare roast beef, thin sliced
1/8 lb provolone cheese, thin sliced
salt & pepper to taste

Steps:

Mix sandwich sauce ingredients and put into a tiny container.
Chop lettuce and slice tomato. Put in a ziplock bag.
Slice cheese and roast beef. Put in a ziplock bag.
Cut pita bread and put half in ziplock bag.
At lunchtime, take your pita pocket and open gently. Fill the bottom with a handful of lettuce, and a few slices of tomato. Then a spoonful of dressing spreading it across the bottom. Add 1/2 of the provolone cheese slices, and the slices of roast beef. Sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add more lettuce and sliced tomato, and another large spoonful of dressing. Top off with 2 slices of provolone cheese, a dash of pepper.

Lie pita sandwich flat. Hold it tightly together and using a sharp serrated knife, cut in half.

This make a delicious salad and roast beef sandwich in one. Enjoy! :)
