3 Perfect Picnic Sandwiches

Perfect Picnic Sandwiches

I like to take food to the next level! While PB&J’s are usually the best choice for the kids, I want a sandwich I look forward to eating all day! In my house, the perfect picnic sandwich has 3 basic requirements!

The Perfect Picnic Sandwiches

  1. Has to be made the night before the picnic! I want to make an amazing sandwich that I can wrap in butcher paper, toss in a ziplock bag, and know it’s going to taste great the next day. Getting out the door is so much easier when food is all ready to go.
  2. Should never get soggy! This is easily accomplished by using a higher quality of bread. Put away the normal loaf of white/wheat sandwich bread and dive into the world of French, Ciabatta, Semolina, and other freshly made breads. These breads tend to have a harder crust that helps them stay “soggy-free!”
  3. Has to have ingredients that I crave! Sure a turkey sandwich with American cheese accomplishes the task. But, a steak sandwich with horseradish sauce and sharp cheddar…I’ll be anticipating the moment I get to bite into that one all day.

Here are 3 Perfect Picnic Sandwich recipes that meet these requirements and are sure to raise the level of your picnic!
