Prosciutto and Pesto Sandwich

MAKES 1 SERVING

Originating from Liguria, Italy, pesto is a thick, blended herbal paste whose Ingredients can vary depending on the recipe. I suggest testing out this dish with a variety of different ones to see which you enjoy most. My family always prefers one with extra cheese and garlic!

INGREDIENTS

1 tablespoon pesto
1 loaf whole-wheat ciabatta bread
½ cup halved cherry tomatoes
½ cup drained artichoke hearts
½ cup prosciutto
½ cup arugula

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cut the ciabatta bread in half horizontally, then spread ½ tablespoon of pesto onto the cut side of each half.
2. Layer the cherry tomatoes on the bottom half and top with the artichoke hearts, prosciutto, and arugula. Place the remaining half of the bread on top.
3. Push a wooden skewer into the sandwich to make it easier to eat. Serve and enjoy!
