smoked salmon and arugula on ciabatta

take a loaf of trader joe's ciabatta bread, slice off a good portion and halve it, spread a layer of goat cheese on one half, drizzle olive oil and balsamic on the other, sprinkle some capers on the cheese, layer a few thin slices of smoked salmon over that, add a bed of arugula leaves, crack fresh black pepper over that, and cover the whole with thing with the top ciabatta half. badda bing badda boom. here's your freakin' sandwich...

peppery arugula picks up the fatty and rich salmon. capers give a nice burst of brine and goat cheese mellows out the entire thing. yum.

i always forget that sandwiches can be great, satisfying meals. even for wednesday nite dinner.
