The humble sandwich is one of the greatest food inventions ever, that is a simple fact. We could list all the reasons as to why that statement is true, but for the sake of brevity, sandwiches are a quick fix that’ll fill you up nicely, without fail. Another thing that’s so great about them is that they’re essentially just blank canvases, meaning you can be as creative with making your sandwich as you want, and you don’t even need bread to get the job done. Just check out these 3 amazing sandwiches made out of grated cauliflower, mashed potatoes, or yogurt!
1. Cauliflower Sandwich with Gorgonzola & Cranberries
