BAM! Balsamic Beet Slaw, Arugula & Mozz Sandwich

I had to wait until the last buttery, crunchy crumbs of National Grilled Cheese Day were licked from plates across America before posting this balsamic beet slaw sandwich. Although there is cheese here, for the most part, this sandwich is clean eating and probably just what you need after yesterday’s fromage fest.

  • 1 1/2 c. grated carrots
  • 2 c. grated beets (about 1/2 lb. of beets, washed and peeled)
  • 2 green onions, sliced thinly on the bias
  • 2 T. balsamic vinegar
  • 3 T. olive oil + more for drizzling
  • 1/4 t. Dijon mustard
  • 2 t. honey
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 balls of fresh mozzarella, sliced into 1/2 in. slices
  • 2 handfuls of arugula

In a medium bowl, combine carrots, beets and green onion and set aside.
