Ingredients 

  • 4 Slices Whole grain logo-marked rye bread
  • 2 carrots
  • 3 green apples
  • 4 asparagus, green or white
  • 100 g fresh cheese
  • 1 bag salad mix
  • 1 lemon
  • 6-8 sprigs dill

Instructions 

  • Peel both the carrots and the white asparagus. If you have green asparagus, just cut them into pieces of 2-3 cm. The white asparagus should be cut into 2-3 cm pieces after peeling.
  • Grate the carrots and apples coarsely on a grater.
  • Spread butter on the rye bread and top with a handful of salad.
  • Place a small handful of grated carrot on the salad, spreading it evenly over the entire bread.
  • Next, add a strip of grated apple.
  • Place 3-4 small dollops of fresh cheese using a piping bag – or use a teaspoon.
  • Place 3 pieces of asparagus diagonally over the food.
  • Squeeze a little citrus over the open sandwich just before serving.
  • Garnish with dill sprigs.
