Today's Self tip recommends that you skip the extra 300ish calories you'd accidentally eat at a restaurant or fast food place and brown bag your daily lunch vittles. Of course, our Lunchbox Guru already has you covered, but we're also fond of the dainty tea sandwiches from Self's nutritionists. Tip top, govna! Okay, we can't do a British accent, not even in text, but whatever!

4 radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 tbsp. red wine (or malt) vinegar

Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on bread slices. Add a piece of salmon, cucumbers and radishes to 4 slices; sprinkle with celery salt, onion powder and vinegar. Top with remaining 4 slices bread. Serve each sandwich with 6 oz. yogurt.
