Kid-Friendly "Sushi" Sandwiches

Kid-Friendly "Sushi" Sandwiches
Prep 10 min Serves 2 Source

Ingredients

  • 3 pieces soft sandwich bread
  • spread of choice ((hummus, whipped cream cheese, olive tapenade, mayonnaise, mustard, etc))
  • filling of choice ((tuna salad, deli slices, thinly sliced or grated vegetables, cheese, etc.))
  • 1 can tuna ((I use albacore in water))
  • 1 teaspoon capers, (drained and chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise ((plus more for spreading on the bread))
  • 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 small cucumber, (cut into long, thin sticks)
  • 1 small carrot, grated

Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the crusts off of each slice of bread and roll out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.

  2. 2

    Place the long side of the rolled out bread closest to you.

  3. 3

    Spread a thin layer of spread on each slice of rolled out bread.

  4. 4

    Add fillings onto half of the bread lengthwise making sure not to over stuff the roll (a little goes a long way)

  5. 5

    Starting at the side closest to you (the filled end) tightly roll the mixture up and press to seal into a roll (I dab a bit of additional spread across the end of the roll to act as a glue sealing the roll).

  6. 6

    Cut the roll into even pieces and repeat with remaining pieces of bread and fillings of choice.

  7. 7

    *If making tuna salad: Place the tuna, capers, mayonnaise and dijon mustard in a bowl and stir to combine.
