Elise - This looks soooo yummy! I may be serving this for a nice light supper this week...btw - is that your dad? What a good looking guy! Have a great day and keep these wonderful recipes coming! Trish in Omaha

Your dad sounds great. My own dad would eat every meal between two slices of bread if my stepmother would let him. I love the sound of this! I'd have to use whole wheat bread to make it South Beach approved, but I bet it would still be fabulous. And since my arugula is in a fairly shady place, I still have a bit left.

Elise can you grow arugula in a pot??? I don't have a yard, I grow some herbs in the pot and would love to grow arugula if it will survive. I know it's so expensive everytime I bought it at Wholefoods.

Looks nice, I'd use aioli instead of mayo.

Thanks to your dad for getting the arugula, so that we can enjoy this recipe. Very tasty indeed.

John: Yes, any veggie or herb can be grown in a pot. Be careful of your fertilizing & watering (check a garden book on containers, or 'square-foot-gardening'). My Mom used to grow tomatoes in the house (use a small art brush to polinate the flowers), and we'd have hot-house tomatoes in winter!

Your Dad sounds like a hoot, and that sandwich looks delicious! Thanks for sharing :-)

I Love arugula and can not believe how many people have never heard of it. Needless to say I was ecstatic when I saw this recipe. Thank you!

Mmm that looks delicious (and pretty easy to make, too)! Thanks!

Mayonnaise!!!! Its gotta be a nice drizzle of olive oil.....

I am so jealous you have a Whole Foods near you! That place is dangerously good.

Delicious. Reminds me of my mom's "dinner sandwich" for those hot summer days, although she would use water and balsalmic vinegar to marinate.

Actually, as kids my grandma made us something similar for breakfasts before we walked off to school-- often eaten while walking to school (but she hated it when we did that). The difference there was that the bread was (homemade) toasted whole wheat, buttered (so no mayo), and a fried egg replaced the lettuce. The egg was what we called "over hard," meaning the yolk was fully cooked (solid); I don't know if "over hard" is a term anyone other than grandma and mom ever used. I hate to think of the cholesterol content of that, but it was wonderful.

Thanks for bringing back the memories. Got to make this for my wife and kids tonight, especially since it will be 100 degrees today.

That sandwhich looks great! I have had a lot of luck with growing Arugula in my window. I just put a post on an easy to make focaccia recipe. It is really easy to make and given the difference fresh bread makes in a sandwhich, definitely worth the effort!

I tried the recipe with oil packed sundried tomatoes instead of regular tomatoes. I'm still drooling over how good it was!!

This recipe looks so good. I have copied it and put it in my recipe book. I am a vegetarian and this recipe is perfect for my family!

Made this tonight along with your oven fried chips and spinach. I substituted the spinach for the arugula. Please thank your Dad for me… it was excellent!!

We made this for a pot luck but used olive oil instead of mayo. Half the sandwiches were made with smoked mozzarella. It was easy, yummy, and a hit. We'll be making these again for our selves. Thanks so much for such a great simply recipe.

Most excellent!!

My daughter just started working at Panera Breads and is now bringing home all kinds of breads and pastries. I hated to let the Focaccia go to waste (instead it went to waist!) so I searched on line for recipes and found this one.

The grocery store didn't have Argula all by itself, so I used organic baby greens. I also used Caponata (an italian eggplant dip/spread) instead of the mayonnaise...just because I saw it in the store and it looked yummy. My husband adored this recipe, and so did I. I really like the idea of Dinner Sandwiches, Madeline. I may steal that idea. Elise, I am now going to go searching for more of your recipes!

Thank you!
