- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small tomato, thinly sliced

- ½ small bell pepper, thinly sliced (optional)
Seasonings:
- Salt, to taste Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: A pinch of chaat masala or dried oregano for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables – Wash all vegetables thoroughly. Slice cucumber, tomato, onion, and bell pepper thinly. Grate the carrot if desired. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent soggy bread.
- Prepare the Bread – Lay out your bread slices. Spread butter, mayonnaise, or your chosen spread evenly on each slice. This also acts as a barrier to keep the bread from getting soggy.
- Layer the Veggies – On two slices of bread, start layering the vegetables: lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, carrot, and bell pepper. Season – Sprinkle salt, pepper, and any additional spices over the vegetables.
- Top and Serve – Place the remaining bread slices on top, press gently, and cut into halves or quarters. Serve immediately for maximum freshness.
