Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, prepared horseradish, Dijon mustard, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, and whisk until homogenous.
- On each bottom of the roll, arrange baby arugula, followed by slices of tomato. Season the tomato slices lightly with salt and pepper. On top of the vegetables, layer 1 slice of Swiss cheese, 4 slices of roast beef, and then place another slice of Swiss cheese over the meat, followed by red onion.
- Drizzle plenty of horseradish sauce, another tomato slice if preferred and finish with the top bun.

Notes
- Choice of Bread: While I recommend whole grain rolls for their hearty flavor and health benefits, you can also use ciabatta, baguette, or any other roll of your preference.
- Roast Beef Thickness: Ask your butcher for thinly sliced roast beef to ensure tenderness in every bite.
- Horseradish Heat: Adjust the quantity of horseradish in the sauce to suit your desired level of spiciness.
- Storage: If you have any leftover horseradish sauce, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. It pairs well with other sandwiches or as a dip.
