Build a Sub, Wrap or Picnic Plate

By Jenny and Rosie

Serves: 4 - 6

6 Sliced whole wheat sub buns or 10” whole wheat tortillas

½ lb (225 g) Sliced chicken or baked ham

1 Cucumber, sliced

½ Cup Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

1 Tomato, sliced or diced

½ head Romaine or leaf lettuce, cleaned, dried and cut into bite-size pieces

½ Sweet pepper, any colour, sliced thinly

2 or 3 Dill pickles, sliced

½ small Red onion, sliced thinly

⅓ Cup (80 mL) Mayonnaise, ranch dressing, Italian dressing, barbecue sauce or other sauce of choice

About 1 lb (454 g) Veggie sticks and cut up fruit

*As needed Ranch dressing for dipping

Note: Wash all produce well.

Place buns or wraps and ingredients on each plate, tray or table. Have each family member make their own sub, wrap, or picnic plate the way they like it. If you make extra, everyone can pack a picnic lunch in a sealed container for the next day!

Ingredients

1 Tbsp (15 mL) Dried parsley or 2 Tbsp (30 mL) fresh chopped parsley

1 tsp (5 mL) Garlic powder

1 tsp (5 mL) Onion powder

½ tsp (2 mL) Dried dill

½ tsp (2 mL) Ground black pepper

½ tsp (2 mL) Salt

1 Cup (250 mL) Real mayonnaise

1 Cup (250 mL) Buttermilk or plain yogurt

2 tsp (10 mL) Apple cider vinegar, or white vinegar, or lemon juice

Note: Makes a little over 2 Cups (500 mL). This dressing will keep well if tightly covered and refrigerated.

Hand-whisk all ingredients together in a bowl. For an easy Caesar-like dressing, add parmesan cheese.
