Mandoline-Sliced Veggie Sandwich
Mandoline-Sliced Veggie Sandwich
If you hate washing dishes as much as I do, you’ll love the magic of a mandoline slicer. This quick little tool helps slice veggies in thin layered pieces in no-time. I usually use mine for applications like this, and it’s truly one of a kind.
Of course, if you don’t have access to a mandoline slicer you can still make this sandwich. You’ll just need to use a cutting board and knife, instead.
This sammy is perfect for days you want the crunch of cool Veggies, but wanna round it out with some hearty, toasty Bread. I actually eat this for breakfast pretty frequently since it’s so quick to make, but ya know, eat it whenever you want.
Safety Notice Please, please be careful when using your mandoline and use the finger guard* if you can.
{Difficulty: Level 1} [Makes: 1+ Sandwich]
Ingredients
2 slices Bread
Carrot
Beet, raw
Cucumber
Mayo
(I like Vegenaise brand)
Mustard
dash Black Pepper
(optional) dried Dill
your favorite Chips
Equipment
Mandoline Slicer
Veggie Peeler or Sharp Knife
Instructions
Toast your bread in the toaster to your preferred texture/color. (I like mine to be a little softer than my usual toast). Place it right on your sandwich plate.
Slather one side of your bread with some Mayo and Mustard. Sprinkle with a dash of Black Pepper and dried Dill, if using it.
Carefully peel your Beet using a veggie peeler or knife.
Hold the mandoline over one of the bread slices and glide the Beet back and forth over the blade to slice it.* Do this a few times with the beet, then do the same with the Carrot, and Cucumber until you have your desired amount of sandwich veggies sliced.
Move your veggies around as needed so you can sandwich them between your bread slices. Slice in half, grab some Chips, and enjoy!
Notes
This is one of those Sandwiches that’s phenomenal if you wedge Potato Chips into each bite.
*If the vegetable holder/finger-guard that your Mandoline came with sucks like mine does, try using a fork to hold the butt-end of your vegetable instead. Just be careful not to let the metal hit the mandoline blade.
If you’re gonna ignore this advice and use your bare hands to hold your veggies, at least air on the side of caution when they get to their little nubbin state. Just pop the veggie butt in your mouth or toss it— a few more slices are not worth the trip to the bandaid cabinet.
When the thought of cooking sounds absolutely soul-crushing, try some of these realistic ways to make it a lil bit easier.
