You can sub ingredients for what you have on hand—use any kind of salad green instead of arugula; any kind of olive will work, or sub something like capers or feta cheese for the same savory, briny flavor; instead of tomatoes (or in addition!) you could use bell peppers, cucumber, sugar snap peas, or any other fresh vegetables.

There is no substitute for a true Cuban sandwich, but this recipe is a light, delicious take on the classic." This recipe from Sabores de Cuba, by Ronaldo Linares.
