Picnic Sandwiches
It’s a gorgeous
summer day—hot and sunny! Grab the picnic basket and go enjoy
it! An impromptu picnic of innovative, original sandwiches is sure
to be a hit with the whole family. The following suggestions should
help get your creative juices flowing.
The first step in making a good sandwich is to select the right bread. Forget boring white or brown sliced bread. Instead use raisin-nut, multigrain, rye, egg or onion bread, ciabatta, flavoured wraps (ex.: basil, dried tomato), etc. You can even grill sandwiches (ex.: panini) to be eaten cold later.
The heart of a sandwich is what goes between the bread and the possibilities are endless. Slip your favourite foods in your sandwich. Fresh herbs like basil or mint add a refreshing, sophisticated touch to sandwiches. The following suggestions are just a springboard for your imagination.
- Sliced roast pork, mayonnaise, honey, sliced apple, spinach and Emmenthal.
- Cold cuts, Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, roasted red peppers (and/or dried tomatoes in oil), sliced black olives, fresh basil and provolone.
- Chopped cooked chicken, mayonnaise, pesto, tomato and cucumber slices.
- Cold cuts, salsa, sliced avocado, fresh coriander, and crumbled feta.
