or perhaps sandwiches - plan B

pumpernickel bread
corned beef, thinly sliced
thin film of mustard

Make Healthfuller cole slaw to go with the sandwiches:

Dressing

Whisk together:

1/2 cup vegetable oil (not olive oil)
1/4 cup lemon or lime juice
if lime juice, add 1/2 tsp dried tarragon
if lemon juice, consider some poppy seeds or sliced carrot
a few grindings of black pepper
scant 1/4 tsp sugar

Slice up a cabbage, or maybe 3/4 of a cabbage. Add to dressing and stir. Keep covered while stored to prevent browning.

The law which requires that cabbage in cole slaw be reduced nearly to a liquid has been repealed. To make cole slaw at home, just chop up the cabbage and eat it.

In summer, you can add cherry tomatoes, whole. Do not cut them, or the slaw will turn an unappetizing pinkish green.
