Be a Hero! Make a Hero!
Depending on where you live, maybe you've never had a hero. Maybe you call those giant everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sandwiches hoagies, subs or grinders.
The names vary, but the idea is the same: using a large piece of bread, layer on the meats, cheeses and veggies. Add a flavorful spread and open wide!
Here's an easy recipe for a hero that comes with a bonus: it's practically fat free! If you make a point of using other healthy ingredients, this hero could make YOU a hero when you share it with friends and family!
Healthy Hero Sandwich
1/2 cup fat-free mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat-free Italian salad dressing
3 cups shredded lettuce
1 loaf French or Italian bread, cut in half lengthwise
8 oz fat-free bologna
6 oz oven-roasted turkey breast
2 tomatoes, thinly sliced
6 fat-free cheese single slices
1 green bell pepper, thinly sliced
Mix the mayonnaise and Italian salad dressing in a small bowl. Mix 1/4 cup of the dressing with the lettuce and set aside.
Brush the cut sides of the loaf of bread with the remaining dressing.
Cover the bottom half of the bread with the lettuce mixture. Top with meat, tomatoes, cheese and peppers.
Cover with the top of the loaf. Cut crosswise into 8 slices and serve.
Serves 8
