Healthy sandwich ideas!

[SnowMoss]

With an emphasis on the 'healthy' part.
For the summer. Sometimes I just want something simple and quick-ish.

A recent one was a sourdough roll with roast chicken and salad (which included homemade coleslaw, rocket, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and olives). I baked the chicken in lemon, basil and rosemary.

I would love some more healthy roll ideas that aren't overly complex. I live alone so don't want to buy in tons of ingredients that won't get finished before they go off.
Can include baguette, wrap or regular decent bread.

I do make my own caesar sauce and mayo concoctions so that's already good!

What does healthy mean? Low calorie? With salad? Low fat?

I like pittas, the soft Warburton s one are good and you can freeze them and defrost in the toaster one by one.

I really like (especially in the summer) toasted whole grain/brown bread, topped with onion hummus generously spread on both sides of the bread, rocket mixed with grated carrot and tiny bit of lemon juice and olive oil in the middle, and sliced cherry tomatoes.

not sure on calories if your into tracking them, but it feels super fresh, delicious and summery.

Depends what you mean by healthy. Sourdough isn't particularly healthy if you're cutting down on caloriesand carbs. Something like wholemeal thins would be better.

I like any of these plus salad, or roast Mediterranean veg if I have it, usually in wraps. Hard boiled egg sliced up, falafel, leftover chicken.

By healthy I mean not 'fantasy sandwich' as often pops up on here!

So less bacon, sausage and brie, and more veg, etc.

Can we not get caught up in an orthorexic panic about my 4 ingredient bread please?
I don't exclude carbs and am a healthy weight.
I also eat home made bread, crosta and molica wraps. I am perfectly fine with those and eat a balanced diet.

Thank you this wounds lovely!
No not tracking cals.

Yours sounds absolutely gorgeous.

I'm not much help with healthy though, brunch was a bacon, brie and chilli jam toasted panini!

Maybe prawns with salad? Smoked salmon and cream cheese? Halloumi, roasted peppers and chilli? Tuna with olives, cucumber, spring onion and capers? Fish fingers with gherkins and tartar sauce? Yum!

I’m loving home made pickled red onion slices on all my sandwiches! See BBC good food for recipe.

Tomato, mozzarella and basil with something crusty.

These are great thanks!

I am tempted to include gherkins and beetroot, not too familiar with either...

There is still a place for brie and bacon, a very special place, like next friday

Mozzarella or cottage cheese, pesto, sun dried tomatoes, or some chilli crisp oil and salad

Roast veg with hummus (I make my own, it’s easy with a nutribullet) and the roast veg keep a few days in a tub (a bit of crumbled feta is nice too)

Thinly sliced beef, horseradish sauce spread thinly, thickly sliced tomato, rocket or spinach.

sliced hard boiled egg with cucumber and spinach and a drizzle of salad cream.

tongue with Dijon mustard, tomatoes, pinch of salt.

houmous with thinly sliced celery and a handful of bean sprouts.

Spinach, feta and tomato with a drizzle of oil.

mozzarella, tomatoes and basil leaves.

Watching for inspiration, I’m so bored of cheese & branston!

Would poached salmon and a blob of cream cheese work better in a wrap, baguette or toastie?

Saw it suggested in another thread and can't stop thinking about it...

sliced hard boiled egg with cucumber and spinach and a drizzle of salad cream.
Love this one!

Houmous with kimchi and spinach.

Brown bread. Not white.

Grated carrot and cheese.

Hummus and crumbled felafel.

Peanut butter and grated carrot.

Peanut butter and sliced apple.

In a bagel! Smoked salmon and cream cheese bagels are the best, but poached salmon sounds nice.
i also don’t think you can beat a ham and cheese toastie.

Our favourite wraps are
Cream cheese with lettuce, avocado and tomato
Hummus with grated carrot, chopped peppers and watercress
Pesto, mozzarella and tomato (not especially healthy but ok if you go easy on the pesto)
Roasted red pepper hummus and cucumber
DH likes chicken roasted in lemon juice and black pepper, then chopped and bound in a little light mayo with grapes and slightly blanched fine green beans, with lots of lettuce

I am saving this for the ideas!

Not a fan of hummus at all but can find alternatives.

Just remembered mustard too, so shall be buying that and some cornichons.

Roast chicken with grapes!!?? I am really intrigued by that!

I'm a big fan of a cottage cheese, sweetcorn and mustard sandwich on wholemeal bread in the summer. Hot and cold at the same time. :)

I love:

Ciabatta roll with avocado, proscuttio crudo, rocket and cherry tomatoes

Granary bread with reduced fat cream cheese, salt, pepper and matchstick thin slices of carrot red pepper and cucumber ( seeds removed). This is way more delicious than it sounds.

Wholemeal wrap with low fat humous sprinkled with cumin and chilli seeds with iceberg, rocket, sliced red peppers.
