Paleo Sandwich Skewers

For those days when you just want a sandwich!

When I "went paleo" about 7 years ago, I didn't miss bread at first. But then, I saw a commercial for Helman's mayonaise where they made this scrumptious looking BLT. I couldn't get the idea of sandwiches out of my head. 

These skewers give you all the good stuff in a sandwich without the bread. 

Plus, they're a huge hit at BBQs and picnics!

Roast beef sandwich skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 pound roast beef, sliced thick

  • Kerrygold aged cheddar cheese

  • Dill pickles

  • Spinach, arugula, or your favorite salad green

  • Small wooden skewers

  • Whole grain mustard, optional

Directions

  1. Slice the roast beef into 1 inch wide slices.

  2. Cut the pickles into chunks. I did them about 3/4 inch and put two on each skewer. You can do them larger or smaller depending on how much you like pickles.

  3. Cut the cheddar into 1/8th inch slices and then cut them into 1 inch pieces.

  4. Start with a pickle on one end of the skewer. Layer cheese, spinach, roast beef, then reverse the order and end with a pickle on the other side.

  5. Lay the skewers in a large tupperware and refrigerate until ready to servce. Can be made up to do 3 days in advance.
