Shredded chicken, mayo, spring onion and parsley wizzed in the food processor into the chunky paste then just spread it on the bread...I usually add some pear (tinned or fresh) and pepper too. DS loves them and so do I
We used to do Baba Ganoush and ham or cheese. Or even just Baba Ganoush on it's own.
Peanut Butter and Tomato is really nice, I know sounds bizarre but it's like chili less satay
My kids love Cheese & Mayo... don't quite know why...
Smoked Salmon sandwiches are always a hit here.
Egg Salad (I use my tupperware hand held choppers for this), add egg, mayo, american mustard, salt, pepper, spring onions and curry powder (just a smidge).
And don't forget about sushi sandwiches. You roll out the bread with a rolling pin then paint with mayo or whatever dip you like then fill the middle with whatever you like. My son loves Sushi so this goes down a treat.
Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwiches are YUMMO! And the kids think they are a treat
My kids love cream cheese (from the jar) and cucumber sandwiches. They also liked meat paste sandwiches when they were younger.
At work we used to make an easy one which was just shredded chicken, grated cheese, thinly sliced celery mayo and a little bit of mustard. You could put anything in it really, we also did a similar one with tuna.
Ok, so we love Coleslaw sandwiches. We just grate some carrot, chop some cabbage and springonions (or just buy colslaw mix from the supermarket when we are lazy ), and then mix it up with some low fat mayo and cracked pepper. I usually also add sliced turkey or roast beef or ham to the sandwhich... Yum!
Another filling we use is coronation chicken! It's ohhh soooo yummo! We shred some chicken, add some low fat mayo (the whole egg one!), some limejuice and mango chutney (secret ingredients ), sultanas if you like them (we don't) and some curry powder (mild!) and cracked pepper. Mix and eat on baguette with grated cheede and lettuce leaves.... *drooooool*
I usually start off with the mayo and then add the other ingredients bit by bit... that way I can keep adding ingredients, until it tastes just right.
Cheese and gherkin rocks! My DDs are both die-hard gherkin lovers (I sometimes catch DD1 snacking on them with a fork straight out of the jar)!
Another one from my childhood - cheese vegemite and celery...you slice the celery into thin c-shapes, trust me is the most underrated sandwich vegetable, it has a perfect crunchy texture. Also works with: peanut butter and celery, cream cheese spread and celery...mmmmmm.
And latest discovery - ham avocado and alfalfa sprouts. It just works.
Peanut butter with anything is awesome..
But Tahini is similar like that, so if you dont use peanut butter.. try tahini & lettuce, tahini & alfalfa or tahini & cucmber... mmmm they are on my lunch menu everyday!
