I want more!

Today for lunch, I was craving something different, but delicious. I really didn't feel like heating something up from the freezer or eating a plate of vegetables as I usually do (seriously, I LOVE a plain plate towering with veggies!) -- so I put together a few things from the fridge, and needless to say it was AMAZING. I would have taken pictures but, um ... I sort of ate it all in a handful of bites.

• 1 red beet (we buy the kind in a box that's wrapped in plastic -- they sell it at Trader Joes)
• 1 Persian cucumber
• spreadable/soft goat cheese
• a clove of garlic
• cilantro
• salt
• flat single-serve baguette

Put the goat cheese in a bowl and mash it a bit with a fork to get it to a creamy consistency. Cut off a little less than a third of the garlic clove, wrap the rest of the clove for later. Start off with a little if you're not much of a garlic person and work your way up. Finely mince the garlic, then use the flat side of your knife to run the garlic across the chopping board, essentially creaming it. You can use a garlic press or a food processor if you wish -- this is being done so a big chunk of garlic doesn't appear in your mouth. Turn off! Anyway, add the garlic to the goat cheese.

Take a few leaves of cilantro (it depends on how many sandwiches you're making) and thinly slice or finely chop them. Add the cilantro to the goat cheese and garlic and mix with the fork. This is going to be the spread for your sandwich.

At this point, if you haven't already, go ahead and slice the bread in half. Spread the goat cheese mixture on.

Thinly slice the cucumber lengthwise and layer it on top of the goat cheese. Do the same with the red beet. Sprinkle some salt on top and your sandwich is done!

Though I'm full, I'm seriously considering making another. IT WAS JUST SO GOOD.
