Picnic Sandwich/ Crunchy Mayo Salad Sandwich
Indian picnics are memories from school where there used to be an annual trip to a park or lake or some food industry that made toffees. Irrespective of the place we visited there was always a popular menu packed for the picnic, puri bhaji. But for my little one's outings the instructions are very clearly articulated by the school. No sticky, wet or elaborate meals. He is still young and his picnic outings last only for couple of hours so I guess it is okay. However, I refrain from sending the packet of chips or dry snacks. Cheese sandwich, jam bread, butter bread often work. For our small trips, when I carry some home made food, if we know there wont be good places to eat immediately I pack some special sandwiches.
One such recipe is the crunchy mayo salad sandwich. There is an effort required to ensure your sandwiches do not become soggy. And this process works. The sandwich stays good for hours.
Ingredients
Slices of bread 2 per person
1 cup finely chopped cucumber
1 cup finely chopped carrot
Salad leaves / Lettuce / Spinach
1 cup mayo/ sour cream/ hung curd
salt and pepper
Method
1) Sprinkle salt on the cucumber and carrot and leave it in a strainer. You may cover it and leave it under a fan or press it dry by patting with kitchen towel. Optionally blow dry them or place under a hot switched off grill or oven
2) Now once you are sure there is not much moisture in the vegetables especially cucumber you can add it to the mayo.
3) You can season with salt and pepper as per taste
4) Place this mixture on buttered bread set with salad leaf.
5) Cover it with another buttered slice of bread.
6) Cut in desired shape and pack in foil
The sandwich prepared this way does not turn soggy even after hours. Also the veggies retain the crunchiness.
