A simple sandwich with cheese gets boring after a while. But you can make it more appealing without all the extra calories. You can do this easily by using raw vegetables such as tomato, cucumber, sweet peppers, radish, carrot, lettuce or bean sprouts. Besides that you can vary endlessly with seasonings like pepper, salt, dried herbs, fresh herbs, pesto, ketchup or light mayo. You can also vary with fruits such as apple, banana, pear, strawberry and pineapple.
