I don't share many sandwich recipes, but I seem to make plenty of them and I'm always looking for new ideas, so I figured you might enjoy some new sandwich recipes too.

I often add falafel to sandwiches and wraps and this falafel and apple salad recipe went down really well.

Graham and I both really enjoyed it.

Needless to say the boy would never eat this. He's funny with it comes to sandwiches. He likes them plain.

He will eat a sandwich with peanut butter and jam, peanut butter and Nutella, butter and jam,

Oh and he will eat falafel on a wrap with some cream cheese, but that's as exciting as it gets.

Salad on a sandwich?

You have to be joking!

It's so odd that he likes cheese and crunchy salad vegetables but won't accept them on a sandwich. I really hope his tastes change and develop as he gets older.

Thank goodness he loves homemade soup!

UPDATE: 8 years later (2025) and he is just the same, although he will have salad leaves and red onion on a burger now.

FALAFEL SANDWICH

This sandwich combines sweet crunchy apple with lightly spiced falafel (try my kidney bean falafel), and fresh salad on soft brown bread with a tangy sauce.

The flavours and textures are a real triumph.

These flavours would be great on a wrap or as a filling for some wholemeal pitta too.
