20 Super Veggie Sandwiches and Wraps for Summer

Sandwiches! Everyone loves sandwiches! It’s true – a study found that approximately half of Americans over 20 years old eat one sandwich per day! Ever since the 4^th Earl of Sandwich asked for his meat to be tucked between two slices of bread back in the 18th century, sandwiches have been considered the best invention since…well, sliced bread.

They can be as simple as PB & J or an exotic gourmet sandwich – the combinations of bread, fillings, and toppings are infinite. They can be hot or cold, cooked or raw, hearty or light. Sandwiches are perfect for lunch, picnics, or parties. Look at these 7 Super Sandwiches for the Superbowl that would be perfect for any get-together.
