COOK’S TIME-OUT
Pocket Meals Stuffed Sandwich with
Italian or Fresh Tomato-Yogurt Salad
A Pocket Meals Sandwich goes nicely with a small,
crisp salad. Here are two salad dressings that work well
with this lunch.
ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING
11/2 cups bottled Italian dressing
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large raw egg or
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/4 cup oil
Combine dressing, Parmesan, sugar and egg in blender at
high speed 30 seconds, or until smooth. Pour into a double
boiler and add oil. Whisk over gently boiling water until
it begins to thicken and egg is cooked. Chill several hours
before serving.
FRESH TOMATO-YOGURT DRESSING
2 Roma tomatoes, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons each red wine vinegar and lemon juice
1/4 cup each extra-light olive oil and plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 teaspoon each dry mustard, oregano and basil
Dash each of cayenne, garlic powder and salt
Combine tomatoes, vinegar and lemon juice in blender
at high speed. Add other ingredients, blending again at
medium speed. Chill overnight before serving.

Sandwich Tips
Sometimes all it takes
to spice up lunch is a
change in presentation.
When preparing sandwiches, use a variety
of breads and spreads,
such as bagels, pita
bread, muffins, grainy
mustards, relishes, yogurt
mixed with garlic and
cucumbers, and chutneys.
Spread your filling out to
the edge of a sandwich,
so that the first bite is as
good as the last.
