    How to meal prep cucumber sandwiches?

    Prepare sandwiches, trim off crusts, cut into halves/thirds and place into meal prep containers along with your choice of fruits or veggies. 

    I choose to add grape tomatoes and apple slices. 

    Few pointers for cucumber sandwiches meal prep:

    • Though white bread is classic, any type of white/brown bread may be used. 
    • Don't load the cucumbers. Stick to a thin layer for best taste. 
    • Mayo can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

    Instructions

    Make Herb butter-mayo

    • Place butter in a medium bowl and stir vigorously with a spoon until soft and smooth. Add all remaining ingredients and stir until combined well. 

    Assemble sandwiches

    • Spread a thin coating of herb butter-mayo on one side of each bread slice. Place a single layer of cucumber on 4 slices. Close sandwiches with the remaining 4.
      Cut crusts off and then into halves or thirds. (HINT for easy cutting: Give the sandwich a gentle press with the palm of your hands before cutting. This helps the cucumber to adhere well to the butter-mayo mixture)

      I LOVE cucumber sandwiches! I grew up with them, but mine were never as flavourful as these. I will have to make myself one of these for lunch soon!
