• Mayonnaise: You can use homemade or store-bought mayo. A good quality regular mayo, such asBest FoodsorHellman’s, works best for this recipe. You can also use avocado oil, vegan, or eggless mayonnaise.

Storage & Make-Ahead

Make ahead:You can prepare the veggie mayonnaise mixture a day before serving and store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container. When you are ready to serve, assemble the sandwich and Enjoy.

If you are packing it for travel or lunchbox, then wrap the sandwich tightly using plastic wrap, wax paper, or aluminum foil, to keep it fresh.

Store: Mayo sandwich tastes best when consumed within a few hours of making it. However, you can wrap the sandwich tightly in aluminum foil or plastic wrap and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. This will prevent the bread from drying out and keep the bread fresh.

Note: Certain vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes may release water and make the sandwich soggy. So, it is best to use these vegetables just before assembling the sandwich.

Tips to Make the Best Mayonnaise Sandwich

• Toast the bread: You may toast the bread on Tawa or use a sandwich maker or grill it to golden brown and crisp. This will give a nice crunch and prevent the sandwich from getting soggy from the mayonnaise and veggies.
• Butter: Smearing butter on the bread acts as a moisture barrier, i.e., slows down the transfer of moisture from the filling to the bread, hence preventing the bread from getting soggy. So don't skip it.

Variations

• Bread: Use any bread of your choice, like brown, multigrain bread, or white.
• Other Veggies:You can add other vegetables of your choice, like regular or spring onion, sweet corn kernels, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and celery.
• Cheese:If you like it cheesy, add shredded cheese like mozzarella, cheddar, or cheese slice in between, and then toast the veg mayo sandwich if you like.
• Vegan: use vegan mayonnaise and butter.
• Add Protein: You can also add mashed chickpeas, crumbled paneer, or tofu to make it nutritious.
