Green mixed nut butter sandwich, or should I better say the ultimate snack for summer? Simple, easy to make, healthy but above all delicious.
The higher the temperature, the less time I want to spend in front of the oven. Unless it’s pizza. This is not the case with pizza.
In general, in the summer I prefer easy and fast snacks, but I want them to satisfy my palates and to boost me with energy. While, my priority as always is the use of seasonal ingredients.
Using seasonal ingredients for this sandwich was very easy as I had my parents’ garden next to me. Fresh lettuce, tender spinach and beetroot leaves. In this green palette I couldn’t help but add a few slices of cucumber and a spring onion too.
After adding the veggies, I wanted somehow the sandwich to be enriched. And at this point a delicious idea crossed my mind, adding some mixed nut butter from my beloved Kiss the earth. Incredible taste and excellent quality.
Adding the mixed nut butter to my sandwich was not a risk. I tend to use their unique products in my kitchen a lot. I have already used their crunchy peanut butter for the easy recipe for oven pancakes. You can find the recipe here.
Recipe notes
The recipe is very simple and easy to make. It is ideal for a quick snack that will fill you with energy thanks to the mixed nut butter. In the recipe I sauté spinach and leaves from beetroot. If you want, you can avoid it and add them raw to the sandwich. However, if you are sautéing them, then you should let them drain so that you do not transfer extra liquid to the bread.
While, if you do not have beet leaves, you can replace them with an equal amount of spinach leaves. Or any other green vegetable you have at your disposal.
