Celery brings a nice crunch.Chickpea Salad Sandwich

08of 18Cucumber Sandwich with Cotija & LimePhotographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly DreesmanThis easy vegetarian cucumber sandwich draws flavor inspiration from elote, the Mexican street corn dish. Instead of corn, we flavor cucumber slices with cotija cheese, lime and cilantro for a tasty filling. Cotija cheese, a salty, crumbly Mexican cheese, is similar in flavor and texture to feta cheese, which can be used as a substitute. Arugula adds a peppery flavor, but any tender greens will work well here.View Recipe
