  2. >5 vegetables to replace bread in your sandwich

Whether it be to vary the pleasures, to avoid gluten or to limit carbs, replacing a sandwich bread with a vegetable is easy and fun. The proof 5-fold!

Lettuce

With its large leaves, it is securely armed to firmly roll around all its toppings: ham, cheese, pickles, nothing can resist it! Grated carrots, crumbled falafels, various cheeses, everything can be roll.

 

Zucchini

Whole, emptied with an apple-corer and steam-cooked or microwaved without it can thus welcome... a sausage coated with mustard or ketchup to become a zucchini-dog!

Large button mushrooms

Also called “Portobello”, large button mushrooms can perfectly replace the bread in your favourite burger. Instruction: marine the criss-crossed (with a knife) mushroom heads for 15 minutes then grill them in a hot pan for 5 minutes on each side.

Aubergine

Cut in the length into thick slices then grilled, it happily welcomes Parma ham, tomato and basil. Like a panini with a vitamin bonus!

Cucumber

Cut in half and emptied of its gains: fill it with fresh cheese, smoked salmon or crudités instead of a French baguette, it makes everything fresher!

Baguette, bagel, burger and triangles of sandwich bread will always be happy to welcome lettuce, zucchini, button mushrooms, aubergine and cucumber in slices... if not to cede their own place from time to time!
