While I sometimes just slice up some cucumbers and tomatoes and use them as a stuffing for a quick sandwich, they are not so filling especially for breakfast. So I end up making some bread sandwiches like capsicum tomato sandwich or carrot and paneer sandwich.
The recipe for this healthy and filling sandwich is very simple and requires boiled and mashed potatoes along with chopped spinach and only a few spices.
The stuffing is prepared and spread between two toasted bread slices. Kids will love this sandwich that has one of the most favorite veggies, potatoes along with the goodness of spinach. While I used whole wheat bread to make this sandwich healthier, you could use white bread.
Spinach is loaded with vitamin C and vitamin A. Also, this leafy vegetable is a great source of iron and dietary fiber and is good to be included in our diet. Lets move on to the recipe for easy and healthy spinach potato sandwich.
