Recipe: Vegetarian Reubens

VEGETARIAN REUBENS

1/4 cup light or regular mayonnaise
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons white or cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Black pepper to taste
Pinch of granulated sugar
1 (8-ounce) package of coleslaw mix (or 4 cups finely shredded cabbage)
8 thin slices of rye or pumpernickel bread, toasted
4 tomatoes, thinly sliced
8 ounces thinly sliced Swiss cheese

In a bowl large enough to hold the coleslaw mix, stir together the mayonnaise, ketchup, vinegar, salt, pepper and sugar. Add the coleslaw mix and toss well.

Assemble the bread on a baking sheet. Divide coleslaw among 4 slices of the bread. Top with tomato slices and then cheese.

Broil the sandwiches until the cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes.

Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.

Makes 4 servings
