Delish Beetroot Sandwich

My daughter invited a friend over for lunch and she is a vegan. I made them this light beetroot sandwich and her response is "OMG! This sandwich blows my mind! I cannot tell it's beetroot! It's so DELISH!"

I baked sourdough every day and hence, there is always bread in the house. For the beetroot pattie, it's prepared 1 day ahead of time and kept in the freezer. [You can make more and store it in the freezer for future use]
