Here are some lunchbox tips for how to keep your brown bag lunch a portable feast. Including some tips for keeping sandwiches fresh and from getting soggy.
How to Keep Your Sandwich From Getting Soggy:
Avoid a soggy sandwich by lightly buttering the bread-which creates a moisture barrier-before piling on the “fixings”. If you prefer mayonnaise, try spreading hummus or pesto between meat and cheese to boost flavor without a making things mushy.
Fresh lettuce, sprouts and peppers all add a satisfying crunch. Dry produce thoroughly after washing with paper towels. Pack tomato slices separately and add when you’re ready to eat. Keep lettuce crisp by placing a folded paper towel in the sandwich baggie to wick away moisture.
This is a great tip to help you keep lunch time exciting and not disappointing.
