Marshallese Pilgrim Sandwich

Ingredients

The Marshallese Pilgrim Sandwich differs from the original American version by incorporating Marshallese ingredients and flavors. It replaces traditional cranberry sauce with tropical fruits like pineapple and papaya, and the dressing is made with coconut milk and lime juice instead of mayonnaise.
