Summer is made for spending little time in the kitchen, also because it is hot. On the one hand, we want fresher foods, and on the other hand, foods that are simpler and faster to prepare. And maybe even versatile, so you can offer them for picnics, aperitifs and lunches on the beach.

In this article, I propose 5 dietary summer sandwich recipes that have a maximum of 370 calories.

So these summer sandwiches do not weigh down but they satiate: they are fresh, greedy, nutritious but also light.
And they also allow us to grab a popsicle as a snack.
