Ingredients needed
Bread. Use any of your choice. I used a wholegrain sandwich bread. Pumpernickel, country bread, Ezekiel bread, Rye or baguette will all be great. The same ingredients can be used in a wrap too. Fresh salad vegetables. Lettuce (or other leaves), tomato, cucumber, onion, carrots, beetroot, peppers, spinach, avocado, radishes, etc. are all delicious. Really any vegetable you would use in a fresh salad will work. Cheese. Optional. I use Monterey Jack but Cheddar or Gouda would be perfect too. Mayonnaise. Alternatively you can use Greek yogurt. Fresh herbs. I used basil, chives and parsley. Lemon juice. Salt and black pepper.
How to make a salad sandwich
Can I make this ahead?
This really is the kind of sandwich that is best eaten right away as the vegetables will make the bread soggy. Luckily, it takes no more than 5 minutes to prep all the vegetables and the mayo can be made up to 3 days ahead and kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
Can I add protein to this salad sandwich?
Absolutely. Sliced cooked chicken, turkey, ham, tuna, smoked salmon and sliced boiled eggs will all be delicious in this sandwich.
