Susan's Big Wonderful Picnic Sandwich

Ingredients

• 1 loaf French bread
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 tomato, sliced thinly, divided
• 4 slices provolone cheese
• 4 leaves lettuce
• 1/4 cup roasted red pepper, slices
• 1/2 cup grated carrot
• 4 slices deli turkey (deli-style)
• 1 medium red onion, sliced

Directions

1. 1

   Slice loaf horizontally, separate.

2. 2

   Mix mayo and garlic; smear 1/3 over one of the bread halves.

3. 3

   Layer half of the tomato slices over the mayo.

4. 4

   Add cheese, lettuce, pepper slices, turkey, 1/2 of remaining dressing, carrots, onion, and remaining tomato slices.

5. 5

   Spread remaining dressing over remaining bread.

6. 6

   Put the bread back together, wrap tightly in plastic wrap or wax paper.

7. 7

   Place wrapped sandwich on a bread board, put a plate on top of it, and something heavy on top of that--I use a cast iron frying pan (and press it down real firmly, too).

   PICNIC IDEA: Put sandwich in the bottom of your cooler, and weight it down with picnic stuff -- this will achieve the same results!
