Sandwich And Salad Trends From The Food Channel

A Food Channel report, sponsored partly by H. J. Heinz, lists the latest trends –with recipes – for sandwiches and salads. Cauliflower, for example, can be used to make pizza dough, broccoli can be incorporated into the sauce, and roasted asparagus can serve as a topping. The report suggests trying international cheeses such as Italy’s burrata and fontina, or France’s gruyere, on sandwiches, perhaps using the Vietnamese bread banh mi or maybe pretzel bread, brioche, or Hawaiian rolls. And then for trendy foodies, and people suffering from celiac disease, looking for a wheat bread alternative, there’s banana flour – “the newest choice for gluten-free bakers.”
