Eat Something Cuban

I'm here! I'm here! Did you think that I'd forgotten about my good blog? Honestly I just had not eaten anything that inspired me to tell you about it. That was until I read a few articles about Cuba. I'm completely intrigued by that little Communist island, and the fact that it's forbidden territory. The sandwich recipe is from another Cooking Light article. They say it was inspired by a late night craving. Oh, and I'm going to give you an idea for a mojito vinaigrette that you could put on some broccoli slaw.

Here's what you need for the sandwiches:
Cooking Spray
Hawaiian bread (another excellent excuse to eat this stuff!)
Dijon mustard
Mayonnaise
Black Pepper
Sandwich cut dill pickles
Roma Tomatoes
Sliced Swiss Cheese

Heat up a griddle or pan and spray with cooking spray. Mix together the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and pepper in a small bowl. Or, just slather the stuff on both sides of the bread. Then, put the pickles, tomatoes, and Swiss cheese on bread slices and make yourself a sandwich. Trust me, this is strangely good! Place the sandwich on the griddle or whatever you would use to make grilled cheese. The magazine recipe says to place something heavy on the sandwich, but I just smooshed it down with my hand. Yeah, I'm sanitary like that. Grill on both sides until the cheese is melted.

Mojito Vinaigrette (Mo Hee Toe)
Here's What You Need:
1/4 Cup Fresh Mint, finely chopped (or use cilantro, but then it's not a mojito)
1/2 Lime, squeezed (for juice)
1-2 Tablespoons Honey (or superfine sugar if you have it)
1/4 Cup Orange Juice (but I used 2T. apple vinegar, and it still tasted good)
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
Splash Rum (we don't have any, but if you do- Go for it!)

Whisk all of those ingredients together, and eat something good!
