Rules for making picnic sandwiches
Don't overdo it with the toppings. If there are too many ingredients, your sandwich will fall apart and there's a good chance of getting dirty.
Keep hot sandwiches for a home-cooked meal, as they taste bad when cold.
Avoid liquid sauces; they will soften the bread and may also stain your clothes.
7 sandwich recipes
1. With red fish and cream cheese
Red fish and cream cheese is a classic combination for cold snacks, these ingredients go well together. For the sandwich, take lightly salted salmon, cottage cheese and salad leaves. Avocado, fresh cucumber and olives are also appropriate.
2. With tomatoes and cheese
The creamy flavor of the cheese creates the perfect harmony with the sweetness of the tomatoes. Brown the bread in a dry pan, spread the rest of the ingredients on top and cover with toast. And don't forget the spices: salt and pepper will bring out the flavor nicely.
3. With Tuna
The recipe for this sandwich is simple: you can use canned fish and regular mayonnaise instead of multicourse sauce. Squeeze the tuna out of the can slightly: excess liquid is not useful in the sandwich. Add the crispy iceberg lettuce, juicy tomatoes and sliced hard-boiled egg.
4. With roast turkey and mustard
In the U.S. and Britain, cold cuts, thinly sliced baked cuts of meat that are served cold, are popular. Turkey breast or thighs are good for baking. The bird does not need to be marinated, just sprinkled tightly with spices and baked. For the sandwich, slice the turkey, smear white or rye bread with mustard, add lettuce, pickles and chopped onions. This makes a hearty and tasty picnic sandwich.
5. With bacon and peanut butter
Legend has it that Elvis Presley loved this sandwich recipe, but he also added bananas to the bacon and peanut paste. Bananas, by the way, are very tasty, too. Bake the bacon with maple syrup and make your own peanut butter using our recipe.
6. With roasted vegetables and yogurt
Drizzle peppers and eggplant with olive oil, add a mixture of dry herbs to taste, such as rosemary, thyme and basil. Bake the vegetables in the oven at 200 degrees for about 15 minutes. It's important that the vegetables are the same thickness so they cook at the same time. Yogurt can be store-bought plain Greek, or you can make it at home.
7. Caprese
Caprese salad recipe includes fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and olive oil. These same ingredients can be added to the sandwich. Only a little oil is needed so that it doesn't soak through the bread. The result is a savory sandwich that reminds you of summer in Italy.
