This sandwich is super delicious! I used whole wheat focaccia bread instead of rye and it was perfect!

This sandwich taste amazing! Family said it was "The Bomb"! Could not believe that there was no meat in it!! I used Jewish Rye bread and we all agreed the combination of flavors with the bread and peppers along with the salsa and cheese, makes this sandwich a nice surprise.

It was a very good change from regular sandwiches. The rye bread gave it an extra nice flavor.
