Everyone likes a good sandwich. The sheer variety and variations of this universal meal makes it a staple at any picnic, brunch or lunch box. You can create magic out of two slices of bread with your choice of veggies, meat, sauces, dressing, chutney and so many more.
This is the recipe for the veggie club sandwich. Traditionally across the globe, club sandwiches contain meat but this is an all-vegetarian version. This is made up of delicious, healthy veggies coated with rich, creamy tangy- sweet mayonnaise sauce. This is so quick and popular that it makes its way into a snack or even mealtime menu.
