Simple sandwich fillings

There is a reason that sandwiches feature so heavily in lunchboxes for school children and adults alike! They are the perfect portable meal.

I usually prefer a hot sandwich like a toastie or panini. But, they aren’t exactly practical if you want something to be able to take to work or on a picnic.

This Tomato and Olive Tapenade Sandwich is perfect because it’s packed full of flavour without relying on melted cheese or other ingredients that require cooking or a lot of prep.

Olive tapenade

Olive tapenade is an olive spread. Traditionally, it is spread on bread, crostini or bruschetta which is why it is perfect for adding to sandwiches like this. You can also stir it into pasta or add it to sauces and stews. 

It’s made by pulsing olives with ingredients such as anchovies, capers, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and pepper. You can make your own if you want but this sandwich is just as good made with store-bought tapenade.

Beef tomato

My favourite type of salad to include in a sandwich like this is the humble beef tomato. Just two slices of this sweet and juicy fruit is the perfect way to balance the salty tapenade.

Baby leaves

Fresh baby salad leaves finish off this sandwich. I like to use baby spinach, beetroot leaves or lambs lettuce. But baby rocket also works well.

Choose small, fresh leaves that aren’t too bitter.
