How to Make a Vegetable Sandwich
Step 1: Prepare the Vegetable
First, wash all the vegetables. Slice the cucumber and tomato. Grate the carrot using a grater.
Step 2: Spread the Dressing
Take the two slices of bread and place them on a plate. If you like, spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or yogurt on one side of each slice. This adds flavour and creaminess!
Step 3: Layer the Veggies
Now, let’s add the veggies! Start with a layer of lettuce on one slice of bread. Then, add the sliced cucumber, tomato, and grated carrot. Sprinkle a little salt and pepper on top for extra taste.
Step 4: Put It Together
Place the other slice of bread on top, dressing side down. Press gently so everything sticks together.
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Using a knife, cut the sandwich in half or into quarters, making it easy to eat. You can serve it right away!
