Ingredients
3 ounces French baguette, halved horizontally
1/2 tablespoon butter, softened
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 ounces Columbus dry salami, thinly sliced
arugula, fresh
Directions
Slice the French baguette in half lengthwise to create two flat sandwich surfaces.
Spread the softened butter evenly on the cut side of the bottom half of the baguette.
Layer the thinly sliced Columbus dry salami over the buttered surface.
Spread the Dijon mustard on the cut side of the top half of the baguette.
Arrange a handful of fresh arugula over the salami layer.
Press the two halves together gently to form the sandwich, then cut diagonally if desired and serve immediately.
Comments
Every ingredient is stocked at every major Charlotte chain—baguette, butter, Dijon mustard, sliced salami, and arugula are basics. The stated 5 minutes is honest; there's no hidden prep. Cost per serving runs around $3 to $3.50 depending on salami quality, which is reasonable for lunch. The one limitation is that a quality baguette softens within a few hours once assembled, so this is strictly a same-day, eat-now dish with no meaningful leftovers.
