Are you looking for a snack or breakfast that’s quick, healthy, and super tasty? This 5-Minute Veggie Sandwich is perfect for busy mornings or when hunger strikes. Packed with fresh vegetables and light spreads, it’s not just fast but also incredibly nutritious.
Ingredients (Serves 1-2):
2 slices of whole wheat bread
1 small tomato, thinly sliced
½ cucumber, thinly sliced
¼ cup grated carrot
1 small capsicum, thinly sliced
A few lettuce leaves
1-2 tsp mayonnaise or hung yogurt (for healthier option)
Salt & pepper to taste
½ tsp chaat masala or black pepper (optional)
Butter or olive oil (optional, for toasting)
1. Prepare the bread:
Lightly toast the slices if you like a crunchy texture. You can also skip this step for a soft sandwich.
2. Spread the base:
Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise or hung yogurt on each slice. This adds flavor and prevents the veggies from sliding.
3. Layer the veggies:
Start with lettuce, then add cucumber, tomato, carrot, and capsicum. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, pepper, and chaat masala for an extra zing.
4. Assemble:
Place the other slice of bread on top and press gently.
5. Cut and serve:
Cut diagonally and enjoy your fresh, colorful, and nutritious veggie sandwich.
Pro Tips for Extra Flavor:
Add avocado slices for creaminess.
Sprinkle some grated cheese if you love cheesy sandwiches.
Use whole-grain or multigrain bread for added fiber.
