What goes with mayo in a sandwich?
To prepare this veg sandwich with mayonnaise, you need the following list of ingredients:
- Mayonnaise- As this recipe is for vegetarians, I use vegan mayo. You can also use regular mayo if an egg does not bother you.
- Cabbage - Thoroughly washed and rinsed in salted water. Chop it finely.
- Bread- It is a loaf of regular white sandwich bread. Switch with gluten-free for gluten-free options.
- Carrot - Orange. Peeled and grated.
- Cucumber - Grated. Avoid peeling.
- Mixed herbs - Italian mixed herbs for seasoning. (Optional)
- Salt - Regular table salt
- Pepper - Freshly crushed black peppercorns
- Ketchup - Tomato ketchup

Preparation
- Finely chop the cabbage after thoroughly washing it in salted water.
- Grate carrot and cucumber. Keep them on a strainer for 10-15 minutes to drain. Slightly squeeze water with the help of a spoon. This step will prevent the sandwiches from getting soggy and keep them fresh for a long time.
Sandwich filling
- Prepare the sandwich filling by combining all the ingredients like veggies, mayo, ketchup and seasonings into a large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly. (image below)
- Cut bread slices into halves by making a diagonal cut and trimming off the corners.
- Spread the filling on the half-cut slice of the bread and cover it with the other half. (image below)
And tada.. fresh veggies and mayo sandwiches are ready to go!!!
Wrap them with a cling film to keep them fresh for a long. This step is optional. I prefer this way if I would have been preparing them for a potluck or picnic where I had to carry them. (Image below)
Substitutions
- You can easily substitute veggies with what you like lettuce, avocado, olives, onions, and tomatoes.
- Use whole-wheat bread or other whole-grain bread for healthy options.
- For meat lovers, add meat into filings to make them as per their liking.
Variations
- Add green chillies or chilli pepper flakes for spicy.
- Try this red chilli chutney to the filling for a spicy version, and share how it turned out.
- Give this sandwich recipe a new twist: layering the green chutney on top of the sandwich filling and then covering it with the other half.
- How about adding protein like tofu, kidney beans or chickpeas for vegetarians, and chicken, fish, turkey, canned tuna, and salmon for meat lovers to provide nutritional value to these sandwiches?
Storage
- These veg mayo sandwiches stay fresh for at least 3-4 hours at room temperature and for at least 2 days when stored in the fridge.
- The best is to consume the day you prepare them. For the leftover, keep them refrigerated to maximize their life.
Tips N Tricks
- Squeeze water from veggies to prevent sandwiches from being soggy.
- Add salt carefully, as mayonnaise is already salty.
- Chop veggies into fine if you are not in the mood to grate them.
- Prepare sandwich filling only at the time of making sandwiches. Do not prepare it in advance.
- Cut the bread crust for soft sandwiches.
- Do not store these cold sandwiches for more than 2 days.
- To keep sandwiches fresh and soft for a long, wrap them in a cling film.
- The best is to consume the sandwiches on the same day of the preparation.
