Ingredients
- 8 slices of whole grain bread
- 16 slices of turkey or ham
- 8 slices of cheddar cheese
- 8 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 8 tablespoons of mustard
- 4 cups of mixed salad greens
- 4 large apples, sliced
- 4 cups of baby carrots
- 8 granola bars
- 8 juice boxes
Instructions
- Lay out all the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface. Get that bread ready, no crumbs allowed!
- Slather 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on half of the slices and 1 tablespoon of mustard on the other half. Don’t be stingy; make it flavorful!
- On the mayonnaise side, pile on 2 slices of turkey or ham followed by 1 slice of cheddar cheese. Top it with a handful of mixed salad greens.
- Place the mustard side on top of the fillings to form a sandwich. Press down gently, but don’t turn it into mush!
- Cut each sandwich in half diagonally. You want it to be easy to handle, not like trying to eat a brick!
- While you’re at it, slice the apples and arrange them on a plate. Grab those baby carrots and put them next to the apples.
- Place 2 halves of the sandwich in a lunch box, add a handful of baby carrots, a few apple slices, and a granola bar. Finish with a juice box.
- Make sure everything fits nicely in the lunch box. No squished sandwiches allowed!
There you go! A school lunch that’s not just a meal but a proper experience. It’s wholesome, delicious, and packed with flavors that’ll make those kids come running back for more. Now, get out there and show them what you’re made of! Cook with passion, and remember: perfection is the goal!
