Instructions

Prepare the Yogurt Spread:
- Strain the Greek yogurt to remove excess whey, creating a thick, cream cheese-like consistency.
-
Mix Vegetables with Yogurt:
- Divide the strained yogurt into two bowls.
- Mix shredded carrots into one bowl and shredded purple cabbage into the other.
- Season both mixtures with salt and black pepper to taste.
-
Assemble the Sandwiches:
- Lay out the wholegrain bread slices and spread a thin layer of green avocado cilantro dressing or green chutney on each slice.
- On half of the slices, spread the carrot-yogurt mixture.
- On the remaining slices, spread the cabbage-yogurt mixture.
- Place the slices together, ensuring each sandwich has contrasting layers for a visually appealing look.
-
Cut and Serve:
- Trim the crusts off for a traditional tea sandwich look.
- Cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters or halves based on preference.
- Arrange on a serving platter and enjoy fresh!
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt or hummus.
- Use gluten-free bread for a gluten-free option.
- Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Place a paper towel inside the container to absorb excess moisture.
