Notes

Choose high-quality deli ham and Swiss cheese for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of sauce according to your preference. If you prefer a stronger mustard flavor, add an extra tablespoon of Dijon mustard. If you want to add a little kick, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the sauce mixture. Customize by adding sliced pickles, sliced tomatoes, or lettuce leaves for extra freshness and crunch. Enjoy!

Pair this with...

Kale Chips with Chili Flakes

Start by selecting a fresh bunch of kale, washing and thoroughly drying the leaves. Tear them into chip-sized pieces, discarding the tough central stems. In a large mixing bowl, drizzle the kale with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. Sprinkle in those fiery chili flakes, adjusting to your heat preference. Give everything a good toss to distribute the flavors evenly. Lay out the seasoned kale pieces on a baking sheet, ensuring they aren't overlapping. Into a preheated oven they go, baking until they're crisp, yet still vibrant in color. Once out, they'll continue to crisp up a touch more.

Chunky Potato Salad

Start with some good-quality, sturdy potatoes like Yukon Gold or red potatoes. Boil them until they're fork-tender but still hold their shape. Once cooled, cut them into generous chunks. Mix in some finely chopped celery and red onion, adding both crunch and a touch of zesty flavor. For the dressing, combine mayonnaise, a dash of mustard, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, creating a creamy blend that brings everything together. Once the potatoes are coated in this rich dressing, transfer the salad to a serving dish. For the finishing touch, give it a generous sprinkle of paprika on top. Not only does it add a subtle smokiness, but it also gives the salad a vibrant pop of color.

Peach Iced Tea

Start by selecting a quality black or green tea as your base. Brew the tea a touch stronger than usual, as the ice and peach infusion will mellow its intensity. While your tea is steeping, prepare a peach syrup by simmering fresh or frozen peach slices with a bit of water until they're soft and have released their juices. Blend this mixture and strain it to get a smooth peach concentrate. Once your tea has cooled to room temperature, combine it with the peach syrup in a pitcher, adjusting to your desired sweetness. Chill in the fridge to let the flavors marry. When you're ready to serve, fill glasses with ice, pour over your peach-infused tea, and garnish with a fresh peach slice or a sprig of mint.
