# Ingredients:
→ Bread
01 -
12 slices whole grain, rye, or sandwich bread
→ Vegetables
02 -
1 cup finely chopped or shredded carrots
03 -
1 cup finely chopped purple cabbage
→ Spreads & Sauces

1/2 cup avocado cilantro dressing or green chutney

06 -
Salt, to taste
07 -
Black pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs such as mint, dill, parsley, or basil (optional)
# Steps:
01 -
If using regular yogurt, line a sieve with cheesecloth and strain the yogurt for several hours or overnight until thick. Use Greek yogurt directly.
02 -
Finely chop or shred the carrots and purple cabbage until very small pieces are achieved for smooth spreading.
03 -
Divide the thickened yogurt evenly into two separate bowls. Mix the chopped carrots into one bowl and the chopped cabbage into the other. Season both mixtures with salt, black pepper, and fresh herbs if desired.
04 -
Arrange 4 bread slices on a clean work surface. Spread the avocado cilantro dressing or green chutney on the first slice, layer the carrot-yogurt mixture onto the second, and the cabbage-yogurt mixture onto the third. Stack them in the order of green layer, carrot layer, cabbage layer, then top with the fourth slice of bread.
05 -
Trim off the crusts with a serrated knife. Cut sandwiches into triangles, squares, rectangles, or finger sandwiches for variety. Arrange attractively on a serving platter and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Allow the assembled sandwiches to chill for 15-20 minutes before slicing to achieve clean, defined layers.

Ideal for tea parties, lunch boxes, baby showers, birthdays, or brunch gatherings.

Alternate shapes and stack sandwiches on a tiered serving tray for a vibrant presentation.
