Ingredients
  

For the Whipped Feta Spread

  • 8 ounces block feta, drained and crumbled
  • ¾ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • Extra virgin olive oil

For the Sandwich

  • 8 slices whole-wheat bread, lightly toasted
  • 1 large carrot, peeled
  • ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup sliced Greek peperoncini
  • 12 pitted Kalamata olives, slivered
  • 16 fresh basil leaves, torn into small pieces
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • ½ English cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 large beefsteak tomato, cored and thinly sliced
  • 2 cups arugula

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Make the whipped feta spread. In the bowl of a large food processor fitted with a blade, combine the feta, Greek yogurt, and lemon zest. Pulse to combine, then run the processor on low speed as you drizzle in enough olive oil to make a good consistency (about 2 tablespoons). Process until the feta is whipped to a smooth mixture.
  • Dress the veggies. Grate the carrot on the large holes of a box grater and transfer to a small bowl. Add the red onion, peperoncini, olives, and basil. Toss to combine, then stir in the vinegar and olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground pepper.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Spread the bread slices with Whipped Feta Spread (you may have some leftover). Divide the slaw over the bottom half of each sandwich, then layer with tomato and cucumber slices. Pile on arugula and place the top halves of the bread slices on sandwiches. Press down firmly on each sandwich and slice in half with a serrated bread knife.

Notes

Don’t skip toasting the bread slices! The Creamy Feta Spread can be made beforehand and stored in the fridge for up to five days.
