This recipe is ideal when you want to enjoy a quick and delicious meal in your busy daily life.
🛒 Ingredient Tips
For the focaccia, choose one that is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside to enhance the sandwich's texture.
If Costco focaccia is not available, any focaccia with a good olive oil flavor will work.
For the salami, it's important to select one that is not too salty but rich in flavor, like Genoa salami.
Prepare a generous amount of thinly sliced salami for a more satisfying taste.
For arugula, choose fresh, vibrant green leaves that are not wilted.
Its distinctive bitter and fragrant taste will cut through the richness of the sandwich and add a refreshing touch.
🔄 Substitution Guide
If focaccia is unavailable, you can substitute with ciabatta or baguette bread.
However, the unique fluffy and chewy texture of focaccia may differ.
Instead of salami, thinly sliced ham or prosciutto can be used.
Ham will provide a softer and milder taste, while prosciutto will add a rich, savory flavor similar to salami, giving it a more gourmet touch.
If arugula is not available, you can substitute with mixed greens or baby spinach.
While the bitter, peppery flavor of arugula will be less prominent, you'll still enjoy the fresh, crisp texture of the greens.
🥘 Ingredients
👨🍳 Cooking Points
The key to this sandwich is the sauce.
It's made by mixing Wasabi, Stevia, and lemon juice into Kraft Avocado Mayonnaise.
It's crucial not to be shy with the Wasabi here; its pungent kick balances the saltiness of the salami and enhances its flavor.
Stevia adds sweetness, balancing the overall taste, and lemon juice adds a refreshing tang.
Spread this sauce generously on one side of the focaccia.
We recommend stacking at least 4 slices of salami, just like a deli sandwich.
A generous amount of salami truly makes a difference in the sandwich's flavor.
👨🍳 Directions
Prepare the Costco focaccia bread and spread a generous amount of Kraft Avocado Mayonnaise on one side.
Optionally, mix the Wasabi, Stevia, and lemon juice to create a sandwich sauce, adjusting to your taste.
Layer a generous amount of salami, then top with a plentiful amount of arugula.
Cover with the other focaccia bread to complete the sandwich.
Cut in half to enjoy more deliciously in bite-sized pieces.
💡 Tips
Don't skimp on the Wasabi in the sandwich; it's key to the flavor.
If you want it to taste like a store-bought sandwich, add a generous amount of salami.
📦 Storage & Reuse
This sandwich is best enjoyed immediately after preparation with fresh ingredients.
If storing the finished sandwich in the refrigerator, it's best to consume it within 2-3 hours.
Over time, the bread may absorb the sauce and become soggy, and the arugula might lose its freshness.
Leftover focaccia bread can be sealed and stored at room temperature, or frozen and then lightly warmed in an air fryer or oven to restore its crispy texture.
Store any remaining salami in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and wrap arugula in a paper towel, then place it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator's vegetable drawer to keep it fresh longer.
🥢 Who This Is For
This sandwich is excellent for a busy breakfast or a light brunch.
It's also perfect for a picnic lunch box or as a simple finger food for home parties.
It tastes even better when paired with coffee, sparkling water, or a cold beer.
Serving it with a fresh fruit salad will create a more balanced and hearty meal.
We recommend this menu for gatherings with friends or for enjoying some quiet time alone.
