Bell Pepper Sandwich
This clever idea for a sandwich is packable and won’t get soggy at the beach. The Spruce Eats pairs ham and cheese with crunchy cucumbers and a cream cheese spread for a healthy and hearty bite. Mix it up with orange, yellow, green, and red peppers for a colorful lunch and a conversation starter!
Prosciutto Sandwiches
This refreshingly light yet filling sandwich from The Millennial Cook is the perfect meal to pack for your beach day! Made with a few simple ingredients like crispy baguettes, thinly sliced prosciutto, creamy Brie, and tangy arugula, these sandwiches are a standout option!
Pan Bagnat
Pan bagnat, a French tuna salad sandwich, is the original picnic sandwich. Traditionally, French parents would even ask their kids to sit on the sandwiches so that the crusty baguette would soak up all of the vinaigrette on the fresh tuna salad. This recipe from Food52 is packed with fresh herbs, olives, and crispy haricot verts, then dressed with an assertive amount of lemon juice and olive oil. Believe it or not, this sandwich gets better the longer it sits.
Party-Ready Italian Heros
Who doesn’t love an epic party sub? For this stacked sandwich from Bon Appétit, it’s worth the money and effort to get the best Italian cold cuts.
California BLTs
In this clever recipe from Justin Chapple for Food & Wine, slices of bacon are weaved together before cooking them in the oven. The result is a BLT that does not send shards of bacon flying with every bite.
Steak Sandwiches
Check out these drool-worthy sandwiches from Smitten Kitchen. They’re actually quite easy to make, and to expedite the sandwich prep even more, you can cook the steak and caramelize the onions the night before your planned beach trip. When you pull them out of your beach bag at lunchtime, they’ll be at room temperature and back to their juicy state.
Tomato, Basil, and Artichoke Picnic Sandwich
This fresh, summery sandwich from Love & Lemons is vegan-friendly, but we promise it will please even your most carnivorous friend. Make this recipe when the tomatoes are juicy and at their best so that the bread can soak up all of those precious tomato-basil juices.
