Sandwich idea 2 of a request from a reader.

This sandwich uses the veggie patty from a previous post and as a dressing, I decided to use light mayo. It is so easy and fast to put together especially when you have the patties prepared beforehand and you just need to pop it onto a griller.

Ingredients (makes 1 thin sandwich)
1 muti grain presliced sandwich thins (See Picture)
1 veggie patty, grilled
few slices of cucumber and tomato
few salad spinach leaves, washed
2 tbsp. Hellman's light mayo (See Picture)

Method
Spread olive oil over each slice of sandwich thins and toast them.
Assemble all the ingredients between the thins as shown in the picture above.
Add two tbsps. mayo between the ingredients and enjoy!

Note
I prefer Sandwich Thins to regular burger buns as they are lighter on the stomach due to the lesser carbs.
Hellman's light mayo has great flavor and has been voted the best tasting light mayo, which I agree with!

Baby Arugula Peanut ButterĀ Cottage Cheese Sandwich

A request from a friend and a regular reader of my blog to come up with sandwich ideas ... my first request (thank you Arti :)) - this is what I prepare for my husband every morning for his lunch at work. He doesn't take anything else quipping that a simple sandwich is easier on the stomach.

Baby Arugula is a high fibre nutrient dense leafy vegetable. It is an excellent source of B vitamins especially folate and Vits A and C. Also contains trace minerals like magnesium, iron, calcium and copper. Peanut butter provides the protein while cottage cheese the calcium. A complete meal.

Ingredients ( for 1 sandwich)

2 slices toasted wholemeal bread

2 tbsps peanut butter (sugarless and saltless) (See Note)

1/4 cup baby arugula leaves

4 slices tomatoes

4 slices cucumbers

2 tbsps non fat or low fat cottage cheese with no salt (See Note)

Pepper to season

Method

Spread the peanut butter on each slice of toast.

Arrange the arugula leaves on one slice, then the tomato and cucumber slices.

Spread the cottage cheese and season with salt.

Arrange another layer of baby arugula leaves.

Cover with the other toasted slice of wholemeal bread.

Cut into two triangles and enjoy !

Note :
If you need a slight heat in your sandwich , you can try a dash of Tobasco or red chilli flakes.

Sugar and salt free peanut butter goes better with this sandwich. Otherwise, the sugar clashes with the overall taste. I will be posting about making our own peanut butter and other nuts butter later.

Cottage Cheese tends to be very salty. I buy the no salt version and then add salt to my preference.
