We all look forward to Summers. The Mangoes (yum!), Pool Parties, Holidays, Ice Creams, Golas - everything becomes better with Sunshine it seems! On a warm Summer's day, it's often best to stay away from spicy curries and biryanis. A light meal is perfect for Summer and it helps our bodies to stay cool, calm and feel energetic. Here's what I love making and serving during Summer - The Perfect Summer's Sandwich. It's packed with goodness of Vegetables & Sprouts and makes up for a fantastic Lunch with a bowl of Soup or just a nice light Dinner.

Recipe:
- As is with any good sandwich, it's all about the assembly - so get creative and bring in nice visual and proportional balance of things.

- Begin layering Lettuce, Tomatoes, Olives and Avocado. Season with Salt and Pepper.
- Top off with a nice, hearty heapful of Alfalfa sprouts and close the sandwich.

Tip: Try adding Hummus to this sandwich, it goes really well! A healthy sprinkling of Toasted Sesame Seeds will take this dish to next level!
