Saturday and summertime what a great combination for a picnic or short trips. Plan to go on a trip and the first thing that comes to our mind is PICNIC FOOD that is quick and easy to prepare. What could be better than Tomato cucumber Veggie Sandwich – very filling tasty, healthy and full of flavor. A great summertime delicious sandwich! One of my family favorites.
I like to prepare the sandwiches right on the spot and for that I transfer the cut veggies in a separate container, butter in another and this way they taste crunchy, fresh and satisfying. Combination of cucumber and tomatoes complement each other perfectly.
FEW VARIATIONS – Very versatile sandwich; add or subtract ingredients according to your taste.
- I have used a mix of wheat and white bread but whole grain bread can also be used.
- Use flavored cream cheese instead of butter for more flavor.
- Add more raw veggies and make it a hearty veggie sandwich.
- Add sprouts to bring the perfect crunch and texture! …yummm.
- Like it toasted then toast the sandwiches.
- Onions, green chutneys, lettuce can also be added for extra crunch.
A quick and easy sandwich that totally fits the bill when it comes to eating healthy and that too vegan!! Most of the time my go-to lunchtime sandwich.

Stumbled upon your website through a link and I am awestruck with what I am seeing. I am a huge Indian food fan and only reading the steps didn’t make a difference. You are taking Indian cooking to a whole new level for people like me. I just love it, my next recipe to try would be butter chicken. Looking forward to get my hands on it!!

I am not a dietitian so can’t help you with diet recipes. Please seek advice from an experienced nutritionist or dietitian in this matter.
Amazing! Simple.
Drizzled a little italian dressing over it for some added zestiness. Next time, we’ll add some thin sweet onion slices too. Used some sourdough bread, but agree pretty much any bread would work.
Thanks!
Sure. will try that, thanks for sharing!
It turned out to be very tasty sandwich with minimum ingredients. Loved it… Now it will be my favourite snack. Thanks for sharing
Pleasure is all mine. 🙂
