Green Goddess Sandwiches

Do you get bored with sandwiches too? I get so fed up with sandwiches, always faced with the same old fillings. This sandwich is different, a class above, a ‘Gosh, I really must have one of those again’ kind of sandwich, the kind of sandwich which would feature in your dreams!

Even D who eats everything except fish and would normally head for cheese in his sandwich declared it delicious – high praise indeed! Basically it’s not much more than a layering of green and herby ingredients, but the icing on the cake (or should I say the spread in the sandwich!) is the basil mayo, which adds a punch of flavour to those fresh green ingredients. Although a quick word of warning, I’ve enjoyed these so much I have them all the time now!
