There are plenty of sandwich recipes that can last you through the year. The following sandwiches are simple to make and will satisfy your taste buds.
Believe me, the classmate sitting next to you will wish they had your sack lunch. So watch out Subway, there are some new sandwiches coming on campus.

Lemon-cilantro mayonnaise
Ingredients:
