Notes

  • Use your favorite types of deli meats and cheese to customize your sandwiches.
  • For a healthier option, consider whole grain bread and low-fat cheese.
  • Keep salads chilled in a cooler to maintain freshness during your picnic.
  • Prepare sandwiches fresh to avoid sogginess or pack components separately and assemble onsite.
  • Feel free to add additional condiments or vegetables based on preference.
