My summer sandwich

I bled for this sandwich.  While I was shredding the carrots with a mandolin, the base of my thumb got snagged on the teeth.  Three days later I still have five little parallel marks to commemorate one darn tasty lunch.

Ingredients:
Two slices of bread, toasted if you plan to eat it later, untoasted if you plan to eat it immediately after sandwich is constructed
One medium-sized carrot, shredded
3 tablespoons hommus (my favorite kind is garlic hommus)
One large leaf of Romaine lettuce, cut in half
3 tablespoons of your favorite shredded cheese (I think I used a pizza blend with mozzerella and asiago and two other ones I can’t remember)
Optional: one teaspoon of your favorite mustard

  1. Spread a thin layer of hommus on each slice of bread (1.5 tablespoons on each side)
  2. Pat the shredded carrot onto one slice
  3. Put the lettuce on the freshly-carroted slice
  4. Pat the shredded cheese onto the other slice
  5. Drizzle mustard over that
  6. Sprinkle the green onion over that
  7. Unite the two slices of bread
Eat sandwich when ready.
