The particular beauty of a sandwich is its portability: All of these recipes are designed to pack and go, perfect for a picnic at the beach, lake, or mountaintop — or even a backyard barbecue.

So pack up the car, grab a cooler full of sandwiches and fun fixings, and enjoy the best of summer meals.

We all know the apocryphal story about the earl who was too busy playing cards to stop to eat a proper meal, so he “sandwiched” slabs of meat between bread for a quick bite. Today, the sandwich is limited only by your imagination.

Although most of these recipes are quick to assemble, like summer itself, they are best savored slowly. These sandwiches are too good to rush.
