Goat cheese adds tanginess while being lower in calories.

focaccia bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: ciabatta

Whole grain bread increases fiber content.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: apple cider vinegar

💰Cheaper: red wine vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has a similar tangy flavor.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is more affordable while still suitable for grilling.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Slice the zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and eggplant into thick strips.

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt, black pepper, and oregano.

Grill the vegetables for 4-5 minutes on each side until tender and charred.

Remove the vegetables from the grill and let them cool slightly.

Slice the focaccia bread in half horizontally.

Layer the grilled vegetables on the bottom half of the focaccia.

Add slices of mozzarella cheese over the grilled vegetables.

Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the cheese and vegetables.

Top with fresh basil and arugula.

Close the sandwich with the top half of the focaccia.

Press down gently and slice into individual servings.

Serve immediately, or wrap in foil to enjoy later.
