A Sweet, Salty, Creamy Sandwich

Every week we take a peek inside the lunches of the luckiest kids in Brooklyn. Read on, suppress your jealousy, and get a little brown bag inspiration.

Today I made a simple variation on a salmon and cream cheese sandwich. I began with a loaf of coarse whole wheat and rye bread from Orwashers, spread the slices with cream cheese, draped the salmon on half the bread, and topped the remaining slices with roasted beets -- what kids don't like a little sweet, salty, creamy sandwich? They'll barely notice the uber rustic bread. For dessert, child-size pears and these Vanilla Rooibos Tea Cookies, leftover from a dinner party.
