Conclusion
Which one of these sandwiches is your favorite? Let me know in the comment section!
The Egg Salad is the only one I’d eat. Four of them at least contain avocado, hardly varied, especially if one’s not that keen on them. Some things a little simpler would be far more useful for most people.
I like how, with a few ingredients in the fridge, you can make a great sandwich for every day of the week! And I love sandwiches.
Exactly! Opening the fridge and creating something delicious out of what you have is my favorite thing to do!
ALL OF THEM.
