I prefer sandwiches a lot because they are quick to make, easy to carry around with the Sandwich Bag! Usually, I go with veg or corn cheese sandwich. When the sandwich is made with whole wheat bread without the cheese, they are turning into extra healthy zero waste snack. Yes, you can get the vegetables from the farmer’s market and make the spices, cheese and mayonnaise at home. I’m going to share 5 different kinds of mouth-watering veg sandwiches for your different moods. Let’s get into the recipes.
