Introduction
This is a delicious, low calorie, vegetarian sandwich.The original version was made with French bread that you slice in half lengthwise (like a hoagie), but I put it on whole wheat bread to lower the calories. While I make this with fresh mozzarella, it is also very good with provolone cheese.
If you want to add meat to it, a slice of cooked salami or Genoa salami would go well with it (not included in the Nutrition Information here).
Bon appetit! This is a delicious, low calorie, vegetarian sandwich.

Ingredients

DRESSING
1 cup fresh basil
1/3 cup olive oil or salad oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 clove garlic, quartered
TOPPINGS
1 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
4 slices fresh mozzarella cheese
1 medium tomato, thinly sliced
2 cups torn fresh spinach
8 slices whole wheat bread
Directions
1. In blender or food processor combine all DRESSING ingredients until smooth.
2. Spread dressing on each slice of bread (1/4 of the dressing per sandwich).
3. Layer the mozzarella, tomatoes, artichokes, and spinach on the "bottom" pieces of bread (1/4 of each per slice of bread).
4. Add the "top" pieces of bread to complete the sandwiches. Serve and enjoy!
Makes 4 sandwiches (1 sandwich per serving).
NOTE ~ I often prepare the dressing and cut the veggies and cheese, then store them in containers in the fridge. I then prepare a fresh sandwich when I want one. All ingredients will store well for a few days.
