Bread Sandwich is a very simple recipe that is good for kids’ lunch sacks or as a snack in the evening. This uses very basic ingredients and is ready in about 5 minutes.
My theme for this week’s marathon is Kids’ Delight - Lunchbox recipes. Today is the second day, and I have a very simple bread sandwich that can be made in a jiffy on a very busy morning. My son loves fresh vegetables.
He loves to eat anything raw, and that has proved very advantageous for me. Additionally, I prepare lots of salads and sandwiches for him, which he absolutely loves.
I also tend to add a variety of spices to any of the meals I prepare. I believe that kids’ palates start developing at a very young age, and I want to expose them to many spices, so they can adapt to the different environments they are exposed to.

Ingredients to make Simple Bread Sandwich - to make 4 sets of sandwiches
- Bread (white or wheat, or multigrain) - 8 slices
- Cucumber - 1 (peeled and sliced thin)
- Tomatoes - 2 (sliced thin)
- Spreadable cheese, butter, or any spread - 4 tbsp
- Green chutney - 4 tsp
Procedure -
- Take 2 slices of bread. In one slice, spread 1 tablespoon of butter, cheese, or any vegetable spread evenly. On the other slice, spread 1 teaspoon of green chutney.
- Now layer one of the slices with the tomatoes and then the cucumbers.
Top with the other slice and gently press to sandwich them together. Repeat the same with the rest of the slices.
To pack in the lunch box, cut the sandwich diagonally and then wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. This ensures that the sandwich does not open until they are ready to eat.
