This simple recipe is a modernization of the original concept, adapted to contemporary tastes and the nutritional needs of those who want to maintain their figure.

Ingredients

- 100 g Delaco Milk Core (a type of creamy fresh cheese rich in protein)
- 1 whole grain bread roll (or any other preferred type)
- 1 large tomato (choose a ripe one for intense flavor)
- Fresh green lettuce leaves (iceberg or arugula for a touch of freshness)
- A pinch of salt and pepper (optional, for added flavor)

Necessary utensils

- A cutting knife
- A tray or platter for assembling the sandwich
- A chopping board

Step-by-step instructions

1. Prepare the ingredients
Start by washing the tomato and lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato thinly so that it integrates perfectly into the sandwich. The thinner the slices, the easier the sandwich will be to eat.

2. Assemble the sandwich
Cut the bread roll lengthwise, being careful not to completely separate it. Place slices of Delaco Milk Core on one side of the roll. This creamy cheese will not only add a delicious flavor but will also contribute to an important protein intake.

3. Add the vegetables
Place the tomato slices over the Milk Core, arranging them evenly. Add the green lettuce leaves on top of the tomatoes for crunch and freshness.

4. Seasoning (optional)
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the vegetables to enhance the flavors. Be careful not to overdo it, so you don’t mask the natural taste of the ingredients.

5. Finalize the sandwich
Close the roll and, if you wish, you can cut it in half for easier eating. This sandwich can be enjoyed immediately or you can wrap it to take with you to the office or school.
