3 Healthy SANDWICH IDEAS (with Sides & Drinks) for Lunch!

hey guys it's zang and today we're making three easy and healthy sandwiches that you can look forward to so the first one we're making is a turkey pesto club i'm gonna start by making my pesto mayo which is probably the most involved part of this whole recipe so i have one part mayo add it to a bowl and then i have some pesto i'll add it to the mayo and just give it a mix mix mix super involved right i told you this is gonna be quick and easy okay we have our mayo done so let's start building our sandwich so i'm starting off with three slices of bread and i'm just using regular white bread here i like it rather soft and i'm just gonna spread my pesto mayo on each slice so we have our pesto mayo on and now we just start layering our favorites so i'm using the largest piece of bread and i'm gonna add the veggies at the bottom so turkey club sandwich is one of those sandwiches that i used to always order when i'm at a restaurant and i never realized how easy it was to make this at home with all these simple ingredients and until this past year to be honest then i have some tomatoes these tomatoes are slightly they have a purple tinge to them they got the heirloom kind but you can use any type of tomatoes you'd like for my turkey club i like having some onions in there so now i'm going to stack it with our middle piece of bread this one is slightly smaller and then the next layer will involve our cheese and our meats so for the cheese i'm using yarrowsburg swiss cheese smoked cheddar whatever you like i have about eight dollars worth of yarlsberg here comment below if you know where that line is from okay and then i'm gonna add our turkey slices i'm adding smoked turkey here and then some bacon i just put these in the airfryer and they just crisp up beautifully i'll put two pieces closer up and technically this is it but i want to be a little extra and make it look fancy like the restaurant so i have these party toothpicks we're gonna stick them in each corner make sure it goes down all the way and this will really help um to slice up the bread too so i'm gonna go kind of at a diagonal and then i'm going to cut it into quarters and try to cut each piece into like a triangle [Music] order up and since this seems like a restaurant quality lunch i'm gonna complete the plate with some hard kombucha and here you have a 20 lunch at home for probably less than five dollars i mean once you add it all up what i did was pair our pesto turkey club with some fries i just used some frozen fries that i air fried so it only took like 10 minutes some ketchup and i have some pickles and honestly this is like a very complete and delicious lunch for me let's give it a try these party toothpicks just instantly elevates the whole plate [Music] wash it down i feel like i'm at a bistro cafe right now if you're feeling like you need to squeeze a little more veggies into your diet this week this veggie sandwich is the way to go okay so first i'm gonna start by grilling off some of my vegetables it's super easy i have this stove grill pan it's a cast iron pan and i'm just gonna turn it up to high heat you don't even need to go outside to grill especially in the winter right now you can just grill in the comfort of your home if you don't have a grill pan like this you can always use your air fryer or your oven to just roast up the veggies it all works the same but first i'm going to oil the pan just so our veggies don't stick and then i have some red bell peppers eggplant and purple onions that we're gonna grill up just place them on [Music] go ahead and season it with some salt and pepper and we'll just grill them on each side for about five minutes until they're nice and soft and have those beautiful grill marks if you guys are roasting it in the oven just give it about 15 to 20 minutes i'll just go ahead and season the tops of the other side of the eggplant if it's looking a little dry go ahead and just give it another shot of olive oil right on top the onions and the eggplants are looking really good so i'm just gonna go ahead and remove them and you'll see as they sit on the plate to cool they'll start getting really soft generally the red bell peppers need a little bit more time because they're a little bit um harder and crunchier than the other two but we'll just give them a couple more minutes so i have my sandwich spread here and i've decided to forgo cheese on this one so we could technically call it vegan yeah it is vegan um so i'm using just spicy avocado hummus it's my favorite spread it on each side i'm adding a pretty generous amount on here just because i really like having that hummus flavor and texture come through in every bite so i'm going to start with the lettuce at the bottom as our base i'm going to add some of these little gems along with a couple arugula i actually grew these in my garden two of them and the next one you don't see in a lot of sandwiches but i figured balmy has carrots why not a regular veggies sandwich and depending on how you cut your sandwich you want the carrots to kind of like be the cross layer so since i like to cut my sandwiches this way i'm going to lay the carrot strings or carrot slices shredded carrots down so when we cut into it you see these beautiful shreds then whichever one you'd like to put next but since the bell peppers are still kind of hot i feel like it'll soften the carrots so i will add my bell peppers our sliced grilled eggplant this is pretty much the meat of the sandwich so add as much or as little as you'd like i like having a lot so and now our grilled onions if you've never added grilled onions to your sandwich it's such a game changer it just adds so much depth into it then our micro greens make a nice little bed there you can add tomatoes if you'd like but the sandwich is getting pretty tall and it might get a little bit hard to eat if it's too filled so i'm going to stop right here just close this up and slice her up and that's a rainbow veggie sandwich right there and just to make sure that we stay a lean mean green machine today i paired it with some green juice all right now let's give our sandwich a try look at those beautiful rainbow layers this is this is just like a feast for my eyes right now [Music] this is a feast for my mouth too there's just so many textures and flavors going on in there i don't even feel like i need meat like i don't miss it the eggplant has that like thick meatiness and then the red bell peppers still have that crunch in there so that it's not mushy the grain bread is just soft and doughy oh and then the spicy hummus just rounds it out with all the flavor this is so delicious i can definitely go veggie and then the green juice to wash it down i feel healthy already so this tuna salad sandwich is as easy as it gets typically for my tuna salad mixture i would add in the whole nine yards but because my kids love to eat tuna salad simplified i'm gonna make it really easy so first i already have a can of tuna in my bowl i usually like to get the ones that are wild caught packed in olive oil because i feel like it just has a lot more flavor to that i'm going to add some mayo if you don't want to use mayo and you want to lighten things up greek yogurt is a really good option some dijon mustard garlic powder a little bit of salt and juice from half a lemon this version is definitely kid friendly typically i would add some chopped pickles in there some dill to jazz it up but you know i want my kids to eat so i'm just gonna give it a good mix mix mix mix and let's make our sandwich all right so for this sandwich i'm gonna be using a ciabatta roll it just has like that nice softness inside and crustiness outside that i thought would be really good for a tuna sandwich so because i already have a lot of mayo and mustard in here i'm gonna forfeit that on the actual sandwich but i will be adding some avocado to give me that creaminess um at the bottom i'm gonna layer it with some arugula this kind of shields the sandwich from getting soggy um so if you put like the tuna right on top of it it'll create a barrier okay now we're gonna add actually i'm gonna add some cheese this is smoked mozzarella a tip for tuna sandwich it tends to get messy when you eat it and build it so i always save the tuna for last i'm gonna put everything i want at the bottom except for the avocado that can go on top but i like to dress it up with a lot of beautiful things like cucumber slices for a crunch some pickles of course because you need pickles in a tuna sandwich and then i really love adding dill so i would usually add this into the actual mixture but like i said before i'm trying to please everyone in the house so i'm gonna put it in my sandwich instead um okay that looks good so now we're gonna add our tuna that's pretty good i think and then for our avocado i've already had it what i like to do with our avocado is peel it like so and then to make it look nice i like to cut it in small slices and then similar to how i did our carrots earlier depending on how you cut the bread since i'm going to be cutting it this way i want a beautiful cross layer so i'm going to nestle it in just like that so that when we cut it we see every layer that's in here i know when you're assembling this for lunch for a quick lunch it doesn't really matter but you eat with your eyes and i like things to look beautiful um real quick on top we'll add some micro greens close it up and i have to say tuna sandwich is probably the one that i would pick over everything any sandwich out there i just love a good tuna sandwich if you guys agree with me hit that like button and even if you don't agree with me if you enjoy this video so far hit that like button because it'll really help out the video now let's cut this baby in half and the drink pairing for this sandwich will be a guava strawberry spritzer is it a spritzer if it doesn't have alcohol so for tuna salad sandwiches i always have to have potato chips so if you guys have salt and vinegar that is the way to go but i only have salt and pepper kettle chips which is really good too so i'm serving it with that some cucumber slices more pickles and our beautiful tuna salad sandwich look i also want to mention that the avocado shows through with those beautiful slices like all those cuts you see all the layers and that's exactly what i want to achieve in each sandwich [Music] this is a perfect lunch right here so these were our three sandwiches that i hope will inspire your next lunch meal plans let me know which one you guys would try which one you like you guys already know i would choose the tuna but honestly all of these are so good and flavorful
