Fresh Cuban Sandwich

Fresh Cuban Sandwich Recipe

A Cuban sandwich is generally a minimal mix of roast pork, Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, served pressed and toasted. But adding fresh leafy lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and crispy fried onions (yes, the kind that are used to top green bean casseroles!) takes the classic sandwich in a whole new and satisfying direction.
