Veggies Mayo & Mustard Sandwich

 

When it comes to Sandwich, i try to do lot of experiments with the fillings. One such result is this recipe "Veggies mayo & mustard sandwich". I love doing them up since it is so damn easy, filling and tasty too. 

One fine day when i wanted to have a filling snack I opted for this sandwich which has a robust filling of simple / basic Vegetables. You can choose to select the veggies you want to put in the filling other than the ones give here. I so wish I had a stock of wheat / multigrain bread but was not handy:( [it would have been a perfect healthy recipe then].Nevertheless let's begin our recipe of the day. 

Ingredients: 

Bread ( of your choice) - 4 slices  

Veggies - 1 big bowl (chopped into chunks) here I have cucumbers, tomatoes & onions

Mayonnaise - 5-6 tsp 

Mustard paste / sauce - 4 tsp 

Salt & pepper powder - as per taste 

Butter- 2-3 tsp 

 

Method:  

Start by adding salt, mayonnaise, salt & pepper to the veggies in a big bowl. Give it a good mix. Now your creamy filling is ready to go in.

Start by smearing some butter and mustard sause on your bread  

 

Put you filling in between and sandwich it with another slice of bread on it 

Toast it on a toaster

Bang on... It is our sandwich is reAdy in a jiffy.
