Orange layer – Swap cooked carrots with raw shredded carrots for a no-cook recipe.

Tips for Perfect Tricolor Sandwich

Bread must be fresh and soft.

Sandwiches should be eaten fresh as soon as they are made. But in case you have to make them an or two ahead of time, applying butter is highly recommended as it prevents the bread from getting soggy soon.

Always wrap or cover the cold sandwich with cling wrap to retain its freshness and prevent drying out of the bread.

Fillings, chutneys and sauces that go into the making of sandwich must have minimum moisture content.

It is best to trim off crust sides of the slices for neatness. Do not discard these crust sides. Toast them and make bread crumbs.

White bread, brown bread, whole wheat , multi grain, practically any sliced bread works fine. If you ask me, for more than one layer sandwich I prefer white bread.
