Sandwiches make quick bentos
Features: Ham & swiss sandwiches, lettuce on the side, and grapes.
Just because sandwiches have become the lunchbox staple doesn't mean they have to be ugly, half-squished affairs. I actually used a new bento box for this that I've had for a while (it was $5 at my local asian grocery store!!) but have never gotten a chance to use and I've been too busy to upload pictures (I'll try to rectify that soon).
Sandwiches are so quick, I find myself making them a lot lately -- especially since I've gotten so busy. So, I decided to take a picture of one. I've found that there's some pointers to follow to make a pretty and tasty sandwich:
- Keep the lettuce seperate, which guarantees it'll be crisp come lunch time!
- Buns make a sandwich much more pretty and inviting than plain, sliced bread. Try looking for wheat buns.
- Mini-buns (the kind I used here) are great for bento.
- Mix up your spreads, you don't always have to use mayo. Try ranch, thousand island dressing, cream cheese spreads, etc.
Just thinking of that sandwich is making me hungry. ;)
