Ultimate picnic sandwich

Warburtons is toasting a decade of National Bread Week, which is kicking off from 3rd May to 9th May 2010. Specially formulated by experts at Warburtons, this picnic sandwich has the perfect combination of ingredients that keeps the bread deliciously soft and fresh and wards off pesky insects and mosquitoes too!

The low-fat cream cheese helps form a barrier to prevent the bread from absorbing moisture from the filling and becoming soggy! The chives mixed with the low fat cream cheese not only make a delicious alternative to butter or spread but can also help to ward off insects! A great way to complete your ultimate sandwich experience is to serve with a sprig of fresh mint and a glass of pink grapefruit juice. The mint is a great finishing touch to repel mosquitoes and pink grapefruit juice is the perfect, refreshing summer drink full of super nutrients.
