2 T. lemon juice
salt and pepper
2 T. fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:
Mix all ingredients, let chill, and spread on bread for sandwiches


For a bit of a change up, try mixing in diced cucumbers and tomatoes, and instead of bread, use tortillas, flat bread, crescent rolls, or pita pockets.

Most ingredients are either found in your pantry or are currently on sale at your local grocery store.


Ham, Cheese, and Veggie Panini!

Sale ingredients:

Land O Frost Shaved Lunch Meat, 7.5-10 oz (@Bi-Lo, $1.99)

Southern Home shredded cheese, 8oz. (@Bi-Lo, $2)

Fresh leaf lettuce (@Bi-Lo, 88¢)
Roma or vine ripe tomatoes (Bi-Lo, $1.88/lb)




Directions:
Place lunch meat, cheese of choice (experiment with cheeses you like best: cheddar, mozzarella, swiss, etc.), a few leaves of lettuce, and a slice of tomato between two slices of bread-- french bread is best, but if you only have loaf bread, pita bread, or tortillas on hand, then go for it!  Brush a little EVOO on the bread and place in a hot pan. Press with a spatula to flatten the sandwich a bit.  Once browned, flip and press with the spatula again.  Once browned on both side,  enjoy!
