A delightful sandwich combining the crunch of carrots and walnuts with the creaminess of a basil-infused spread.
Combine the shredded carrots, toasted walnuts, sliced green olives, diced pimientos, and minced garlic in a mixing bowl.
Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and adds a delightful crunch.
In a separate bowl, mix the light mayonnaise with the fresh basil until well combined.
Chop the basil finely to distribute its flavor evenly in the spread.
Spread a thin layer of the basil mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
Using a serrated knife makes spreading easier and prevents tearing the bread.
Place the carrot and walnut mixture evenly on four slices of bread, then top with the remaining slices.
Press the sandwiches gently to help the filling adhere to the bread.
Cut each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
For a neat presentation, use a sharp knife to cut the sandwiches cleanly.
