Sandwich filling ideas

flower10

Hi,

I'm looking for ideas for sandwich fillings. I usually have ham combinations (e.g. ham and chutney, ham and mustard), but given ham is a processed meat I'm trying to cut down on this. Also our local asda have just got rid of their deli counter! I'm also trying to avoid too much high fat cheese (e.g. cheddar), happy with lower fat cheese e.g. soft cheese, mozorella.

Does anyone have any other ideas for what to do for sandwich fillings? So far I have:
Egg mayonnaise
Tuna and sweetcorn mayonaise
Hummus and vegetable (pepper, tomato, cucumber, olive etc)
Soft cheese (philadelphia style) and vegetable as above.

I try to vary things to avoid getting bored.

Also any sandwich filler recipes that can be made at the start of the week would be good:)

Look forward to your help:)

I used to take to work - a couple of times a week - pre-cooked chicken Tikka. It was in the chilled aisle of the supermarket.

I used to split open a pitta bread and put some of this chicken in with a bit of salad and some mayo. Really nice and different and the pitta was a welcome change from general run of the bread!

My Fav is as follows:

2 slices of toast, Make sure it is buttered before it goes cold.
Mash up a tin of sardines less the brine/oil and add a good dollop of tomato ketchup and some chopped onion.

Put it into your sandwich box and into the fridge for the morning MMMMM

One I make for hubby is - start with a rough egg mayo( pretty chunky ) then I grate in a small bit of cheese, add some chopped scallion, chopped pepper, olives, gherkins, tomatoes - whatever I have to hand. Season as needed Need to mix enough mayo to bind it but not make it sloppy. I make enough for three days of sandwiches, keeps well in the fridge

Instead of sandwiches i sometimes do a rice salad.
Cooked rice; some frozen veg, corn peas peppers, chopped pickled onions; boiled egg; maybe something like tuna or sardines; or even some processed cheese or meat 'cos you're not having as much as you would on a sandwich.
