SUSHI-STYLE SANDWICHES

Kids love this creative way of serving up the usual sandwich. You can substitute any of their favorite condiments and different types of lunch meat and cheese sticks. You can also replace bread with tortillas for easier wrapping.

Ingredients:

1 slice bread of your choice

Ranch dressing or mayonnaise

1-2 slices turkey lunchmeat

1 carrot, cut into thin sticks

1 cucumber, cut into thin sticks

1 cheese stick of your choice

Preparation:

Trim crusts from bread. Flatten bread with rolling pin. Spread bread with ranch dressing or mayonnaise. Top the bread with slice(s) of turkey, folded over or trimmed to be smaller than bread. (You’ll want a 1/4" piece of bread at the top with no meat to make the roll stick together.) Place a carrot stick and a cucumber stick at the bottom end of bread. Slice a cheese stick in half and place with carrot and cucumber. Tightly roll up sandwich from bottom to top, making sure veggies and cheese stick are snugly squeezed together. Once roll is tight, squeeze it firmly, and press along bread seam to seal. Use a sharp knife to cut straight through the roll into “coins.” Serve with extra ranch dressing for dipping.
