You don't have to go to a deli to have a delicious sandwich. You can make it right at home, and it's cheaper too! Ingredients: tuna in olive oil honey white bread (I made my own) red leaf lettuce cheddar cheese 1 ripe avocado chipotle mayonnaise Directions: Slice the avocado into 4 parts. Toast 2 slices of bread. Use a fork to spread one part of avocado on the bottom slice of bread. Add tuna from the can or jar (approximately 1/3 of the jar). Then place the cheese and lettuce on top. Spread the chipotle mayonnaise on the top slice of bread. Voila! Enjoy the rest of the avocado as a side dish to the sandwich.

Chop the spinach and put in a large bowl. Place the hot cauliflower over the spinach and let sit for a few minutes. Add the onion, garlic, parsley, sugar, olive oil and vinegar. Use tongs to gently mix the ingredients. The cauliflower will break apart and the spinach will slightly cook from the heat of the cauliflower. Add the tomatoes and the shrimp. Toss the salad again using tongs. Enjoy! *The sugar is used to take
