Bread with tomato and cucumber is a simple sandwich made by placing fresh tomato and cucumber in sliced bread or a split roll. It makes an easy breakfast, light lunch or snack, and is especially appealing when the vegetables are ripe and in season. Juicy, slightly tangy tomato contrasts with cool, crisp cucumber, while the bread gives the sandwich its substance; the texture varies with the kind of loaf or roll used.
Most of its energy comes from the bread’s carbohydrates, with the vegetables adding water and some fibre. It is low in fat and modest in protein, so pair it with cheese, hummus or an egg when you want a more filling meal. For a lighter version, use a thinner portion of bread and add extra vegetables.
