A sandwich was the first meal I learned to make. And I still delight in eating them. I am not alone in this either. roughly 50% of Americans consume a sandwich every day. It is, after all, one of the most versatile, simple, and universally beloved foods we know, with countless variations to satisfy every palate, dietary restriction, and time of day. And yet, for all its ease and accessibility, the sandwich is not infallible. Even the most basic iterations, like the PB&J and grilled cheese, can go awry—and that's not touching on more labor-intensive preparations, like meatball sub. It takes only one disappointing sandwich, homemade or store-bought, to realize just how much can end up wrong. So how do you maximize flavor, manage sogginess, maintain structural integrity, and achieve the most well-balanced and delicious sandwich possible? Try these recipes below. Alaska Salmon Salad Sandwich 15 1/2 ounces canned Alaska salmon 1/3 cup plain nonfat yogurt 1/3 cup chopped green onions 1/3 cup chopped celery 1 tablespoon lemon juice Black pepper, to taste 12 slices bread Drain and flake salmon. Stir in remaining ingredients except for pepper and bread. Season with pepper to taste. Then spread the salmon mixture on half of the bread slices; top with remaining bread. Cut sandwiches into halves or quarters. Makes 6 sandwiches. Avocado Bacon Sandwiches 1/4 pound bacon slices, chopped 1 ripe avocado 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice Salt and pepper, to taste 3 tablespoons butter, softened 4 large slices whole wheat bread Lemon twist and parsley sprig, to garnish Fry bacon until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Peel avocado, taking care not to remove bright green flesh just inside the skin. Cut in half and remove the seed. In a bowl, mash avocado, then stir in lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Butter two slices of bread. Spread the avocado mixture on buttered sides of 2 bread slices. Scatter bacon over the avocado. Cover with remaining bread slices, buttered sides down, and press together. Cut off bread crusts. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Arrange on a serving plate, garnished with a lemon twist and parsley sprig. Avocado Chicken Melt 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 teaspoon garlic salt 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 firm-ripe avocado, peeled and sliced thin, divided 1 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese 4 wheat bread slices, toasted 1/2 cup plain yogurt 1/4 cup chopped sweet red bell pepper Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Place between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to flatten to 1/4-inch thickness. In resealable plastic bag, combine cornmeal and garlic salt. Add chicken; close bag and toss to coat well. In large nonstick frying pan, heat oil. Cook chicken in hot oil for 2 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove chicken from pan and place in shallow baking pan. Place half of avocado slices over chicken and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes or until chicken is done and cheese is melted. Place each chicken breast on a slice of toast. Top with remaining avocado slices. In small bowl, combine yogurt and pepper; serve with chicken. Yields 4 servings.
