The "other sweet root" sandwich

This is for my dear friend Bruce. He took me to a restaurant on St Urbain and I got a chance to try this delicious sandwich and decided to make it for myself. The reason? The sandwich cost 8$. It costs me a fraction to make this sandwich at home!


You will need:

• 4 cups carrots, grated
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 apple, thinly sliced
• cream cheese
• lettuce leaves
• bread slices, the one you like!

Mix the carrots, raisins, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Let it sit and marinade for at least 1 hour. That's it!

To assemble:

Spread some cream cheese on a slice of bread, and put some lettuce on it. Then add the carrot-raisins mixture and top it off with the apple slices. Close off the sandwich by putting a second slice of bread and you are ready to enjoy your "other sweet root" sandwich! Can it be any easier? LOL

I served my sandwich with a side of salad and pickled onions.
