My husband and I needed to go on a low sodium diet and with hesitation began experimenting with new recipes. I was so afraid everything would be bland. We tried this recipe tonight and to our amazement we absolutely loved it! It’s fantastic! We couldn’t stop eating it and we each ate three sandwiches! We are still talking about it hours after our meal. Thank you so much for sharing it.

OMG Thank you! You’re so sweet! Giving up salt doesn’t have to mean bland at all!
