Californian Sandwich

This is SO good, fairly easy, and a perfect summer meatless meal. Makes 2 large, overflowing, messy but delicious sandwiches

1 medium yellow squash
1 garlic clove, pressed and mashed with a pinch salt to make a paste.
olive oil
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/2 small head of cabbage (green or red, your preference, I prefer green)
2 oz goat cheese
2 oz cream cheese
scallions or chives, minced (the amount depends on your preference for the flavor)
1 avocado, sliced
1 tomato, sliced
alfalfa sprouts (we skipped these because I'm pregnant. but I bet it's yummy!)
loaf of hearty, sturdy bread (we like the Tuscan loaf from Big Y)

Mix together the goat cheese, cream cheese, and chives/scallions. Set aside.

Slice the yellow squash lengthwise into 1/4 inch pieces. Shred the cabbage. Place cabbage into the center of a large piece of foil and fold the foil up to make a packet.

Grill the squash for several minutes on each side, until soft. Place the cabbage packet on in-direct heat on the grill and let it cook while you grill the squash, just to soften it a little.

Whisk together a couple tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and the garlic paste. Add cooked cabbage and toss to coat.

Cut thick slices of bread. Spread each side with the cheese mixture. Top with the squash, cabbage, tomato, and avocado.
