Though you can cram a bunch of stuff into a salad, I still prefer lots of veggies smooshed between doughy bread smeared with whatever condiment is calling to me that day.
Chicken Sandwich
Today I made myself a simple chicken sandwich on a Pepperidge Farm whole wheat deli flat. I topped the bread with roasted red pepper hummus, spinach and plum tomato slices.

On the side I enjoyed a cup of perfectly ripe grape tomatoes.

Even though it’s hotter than Hades outside, I am grateful for this season because of all the extremely fresh and inexpensive produce. 😀
Question of the Afternoon
What do you prefer: sandwiches or salads?

I’m a much bigger fan of salads. Though your sandwich looks pretty good.
I pretty much despise most salads hahah so I’m all for sandwiches!
I do enjoy salads, but I love chomping down on a sandwich too!
Oh gosh…I love them both, but I think if i had to choose, I would go with the sandwich. Like you said there’s just something satisfying about having the veggies crammed between two pieces of dough. I’m a big bread lover! Plus, I love any opportunity where I can add mustard to something!
My lunch time post had the subject heading: Feta Cheese > Goat Cheese. Great minds think alike!
I prefer salads for the most part, although few things are better than a simple grilled cheese!
It depends what kind of mood I’m in!! I usually eat some bread with my salad, so it just depends how many veggies I’m prepared to inhale at the moment 🙂
Sandwiches, definitely sandwiches. I had a delicious turkey, cucumber, cheese, lettuce and honey mustard one today.
Tough call. I love lightly toasted sammies, but I thik salads are where it’s at with me, simply because I make way more salads than I do sammies without even thinking twice about it. BUT had a sammie yesterday AND today for lunch. Crazy!
Definitely sandwiches! 🙂
sandwich-just love bread that much
The sandwich looks so fresh! I love it hot. The hotter the better!
definitely salads. To me, they are more filling and I don’t need as many condiements. I don’t eat meat, so sandwiches are just veggies anyway!
Probably sandwiches, unless the salad comes with a big hunk of bread on the side…then that’s a challenge 😉
I love sandwiches! Bread makes everything better. 🙂
Definitely sandwiches! I am a carboholic!!
I swear, every time I visit your blog I leave hungry! Great photos – sandwich sounds delish.
I’m a salad myself. Not because I don’t love bread – I’m a carb addict! I just want to be able to enjoy the bread on its own. All that carby goodness 🙂
For me it depends on the day. If it’s really hot, I go for salads. When I have sandwiches, the bread HAS to be toasted!
I don’t think I could choose…I like both. I tend to like sandwiches for lunch but salads for dinner. Is that weird?
I like salads because I think there’s more variety of stuff to put into them. You can make them w/greens, or just veggies, you can add meat and condiments too. I only like sandwiches better if it is warmed with melted cheese.
Sandwiches are so much tastier! But it’s usually easier for me to hold myself accountable to eating well if I make a salad…
I’m a sandwich fan. I love salads, too, but I have to be in the mood for one.
Hey! I just wanted to let you know I have been keeping up with your blog for several months! I love eating healthy just as you do! I am only 16 but I enjoy life and really want to make my own food blog…but i have no ideaa how! can you tell me how?
oh that sandwich looks great!
i listened to sister hazel tonight! haha…you inspired me 😉
I love salads because of all the different tastes and textures you can get in it. But I also love a good sandwich… though I’m still working on enjoying them more often (ED fear food).
Salads! But I eat sandwiches whenever I do not have time to prepare myself a salad, when I am in a hurry, or I am away from home and don’t want to spend a fortune on a miserable salad from restaurant (mean comparing to my super huge, charged with good things, filling salads).
I usually eat a salad for lunch and a salad for dinner, I always make sure though to eat carbs with my salad. So far this summer I have had a thing for fruit in my salad with chicken..yum!
I had a friend that used to say that the only difference between a salad and a sandwich was that someone bothered to toast and cut up the bread! (croutons) lol
