It’s feeling like spring and I’m feeling like lightening up the meals. This grilled vegetable sandwich recipe is just bursting with Mediterranean colours and flavours as well as being light and wholesome.

To make the grilled vegetable sandwich you just need to grill some wedges of pepper and courgette – throw a couple of slices of aubergine under the grill too if you fancy.

Meanwhile cut a couple of thick slices of ciabatta and add a handful of rocket, lay on the grilled vegetables add a handful of black olives and drizzle over a simple pesto dressing made by mixing together just a teaspoon of pesto with a teaspoon of olive oil.

Make it your way…

  • Add in some cheese – mozzarella, halloumi or feta work well.
  • Add spice with a sprinkling of chilli flakes.
  • Use different flavours of pesto.
  • Switch the rocket for baby leaf spinach or watercress.
Yield: Serves 1
