Ingredients
- Bread — 4 slices
- Cucumber — 100 g
- Tomato — 20 g
- Onion — 20 g
- Cheese, grated — 25 g
- Green chilli — to taste
- Salt — to taste
- Pepper — to taste
Method
1. Prepare
Grate the cheese. Thinly slice the tomato and onion. Using a vegetable peeler, slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin ribbons.
2. Assemble Filling
Place the onion and tomato slices on the bread and top with grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Add green chilli if you prefer it spicy. Cover with another slice of bread and gently press down.
3. Wrap
Carefully wrap the sandwich with the cucumber ribbons, either across the middle or completely around the sandwich. This adds a refreshing crunch and gives the sandwich its distinctive look.
4. Slice & Chill
Slice the sandwich neatly into halves. For a cooler, crisper sandwich, chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.
Serve with mint dip on the side, if desired.
