Veggie Baguette Sandwich with Cranberry Chimichurri

The perfect sandwich! We asked food blogger Rinky of @thepalatetrails to create a tasy recipe with our frozen cranberries and she did not disappoint! This recipe for Veggie Baguette Sandwich with Cranberry Chimichurri is a must make! Toasty bread with sauteed peppers and onions, arugula, avocado, and cranberry chimichurri is mouthwatering. The cranberries bring a brightness to this sandwich that you'll keep going back for more. What we love even more, you can use the cranberry chimichurri in other dishes as well so make extra!
