Pesto Sandwich is one of our favorite sandwiches. The best thing about these sandwiches is you can have them for lunch or dinner or pack them in your lunch box. It is a wholesome recipe, rich in Vitamin B12, Iron, antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids. The recipe is very simple. It needs a few ingredients that are easily available in the pantry.
