Talk about a fresh sandwich! Just take the best of your favorite ingredients from the Farmers Market, add a great spread to your bread, dress the vegetables with amazing flavor, and throw in a little protein if you want. It's like eating a garden, only better. You can make this without the chicken for a beautiful vegetarian meal. This recipe is part of our Top Ten Sandwich & Salad Trends for 2015.

We like the Heinz® Extra Heavy Mayonnaise for this recipe because it is made with extra egg yolk to provide homemade mayonnaise flavor and thickness.

Ingredients

2 cups Heinz® Ranch dressing for marinating
8 chicken thighs, marinated, boneless, skinless
For the cauliflower spread:
3 cups cauliflower, stemmed and cut
¼ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon zest, fresh
2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh
2 tablespoons Italian parsley, fresh chopped
1 cup Heinz® Extra Heavy Mayonnaise
salt and pepper, to taste
For the sandwich:
1 red bell pepper, seeded, sliced, grilled
1 green bell pepper, seeded, sliced, grilled
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded, sliced, grilled
1 zucchini, sliced, grilled
1 yellow squash, sliced, grilled
1 portabello mushroom, sliced, grilled
1 red onion, sliced, grilled
8-10 asparagus stalks, trimmed, grilled
Heinz® Golden Italian Dressing
Kosher salt and black pepper as needed
olive oil, as needed
1 focaccia round, rosemary, toasted

Preparation

To Marinate and Grill Chicken:
Preheat grill to medium-high.
Prior to grilling, coat chicken in 2 cups Heinz® Ranch Dressing and set aside while preparing vegetables. Grill until cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.
To Prepare Cauliflower Spread:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Toss cauliflower in olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Roast for 20 minutes or until slightly golden.
Let cauliflower cool while combining the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor.
When cool, add roasted cauliflower and blend until desired consistency.
To Grill Vegetables:
Coat all vegetables in Heinz® Golden Italian dressing and season with salt and pepper.
Place carefully on hot grill and continue until nicely marked and soft.
To Assemble Sandwich:
Slice toasted focaccia into four even quarters and then slice each quarter horizontally forming four sandwiches. Spread cauliflower spread generously on each quarter - top and bottom. Top with grilled vegetables and grilled chicken then close with top halves of sandwiches.
