Daily Diet

Gourmet sandwiches are the best meals to grab while you’re on the go. However, it’s important to make them a healthy fare, especially if they’re staples in your daily diet plans. Bring a creative twist to your sandwiches, doing more than just slapping on the salami between two pieces of bread, with these delectable recipes. They’re also useful when you have leftover vegetables or meat in the fridge.

A Twist to Tuna Melt

Whip up a special tuna salad concoction for this classic sandwich recipe. Be sure to use canned chunk light tuna, cheddar cheese, and low-fat mayonnaise for a healthy snack. Combine these with shallots, parsley, pepper, and salt to taste. Add some lemon juice for some fresh zest. Spread the mixture on pieces of toast topped with tomato slices and cheese. Pop them in the oven and heat until the cheese turns golden brown. This recipe only takes 15 minutes to prepare.

Salmon with Avocado Dressing

Salmon makes a great, light sandwich for summer. Rub some crushed pepper on the salmon to season it before grilling it until cooked. Then, prepare mashed avocado with mayonnaise separately in a bowl. Spread some of this mixture on one slice of bread then top it with the grilled salmon and slices of tomato, onion, and arugula. Once you take your first bite, you’ll relish how the tangy avocado and juicy tomatoes bring out the goodness of the salmon. You just have to spare half an hour to make this delicious creation for your diet menus.

Grilled Cheese Gone Gourmet

You can easily turn your ordinary grilled cheese sandwiches into gourmet fare by using more sophisticated but still healthy ingredients. Use rich fontina cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and pesto to inject extraordinary flavor into your sandwich. You can even make your own pesto instead of buying the readymade ones in the supermarket. Also, use crisp sourdough bread for a more gourmet touch. Preparing this yummy treat only takes 25 minutes.
