Bento Box Sushi Sandwich

Serves 2

3 slices white or whole wheat bread, crust removed

3 tablespoons cream cheese

1/2 avocado, sliced

1/2 tomato, seeds removed and thinly sliced

1 carrot, peeled into thins strips

salt & pepper, to taste

Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread into thin, easily rolled, pieces.

Once you’ve rolled the bread, spread a tablespoon of cream cheese onto each slice. Slice the avocado and place on top. Wash the carrot and peel into thin ribbons with a vegetable peeler. Add the carrots. Remove the seeds from the tomato, leaving them will create too much moisture and turn the bread mushy. Add the tomato, salt and pepper.

Roll the bread into a tight log and then cut into pieces.
