Honestly, this recipe was totally unplanned. One regular evening, when my little one came home from school. Tired and starving after her extracurricular class. I had planned fruit salad for her snack but she didn’t find it too tempting.

The demand with teary eyes was for a sandwich. Luckily, there was a sandwich bread and a few capsicum lying in the fridge. I got into action and even before she could realize, I mixed the veggies in mayo, added the seasoning, and served it with her favorite watermelon juice. Her tummy was filled and so was my heart. This is how a super simple, interesting, and crunchy sandwich was brought to life.

That’s how this super simple, no-fuss mayo sandwich came to life. Out of a little hunger, a lot of love, and some good old mom instinct.

Expert Tips

• Finely chop the veggies – Cut the veggies fine so they can blend well with the mayo and easy to spread them on the bread.
• Toast the bread – If you want crisp sandwich, slightly toast the bread before assembling the sandwich. This doesn’t make the sandwich soggy.
• Add in proteins –You can add crumbled paneer, scrabbled egg, or even leftover chicken pieces to the sandwich mixture to give a protein kick.
• Don’t overspread – Don’t pack the bread with stuffing. It will be difficult to eat and an additional mess to clean.
• Flavored Mayo – You can skip the regular mayo, and go with flavored mayo like tandoori, mint, or peri-peri for an extra burst of flavors.
• Add cheese – Another ingredient that can add flavours to the sandwich. You can use any kind of cheese available in your pantry. Check-in on the salt if you are using processed cheese.

Serving & Storage

Serve this delicious mayo sandwich fresh and creamy. It can be paired well with juices or a cauliflower soup. You can add sides like a boiled egg or fruit bowl for a fuller meal.

If you are sending this for the school lunch box, grab it up in butter paper. This helps in absorbing the moisture and keeps the sandwich fresh. Lightly toast the bread before spreading the veggies mixture. This prevents the sandwich from sogginess.
