Here are some bright ideas for transforming three sandwich standbys into flavour homeruns. SANDWICH STANDBY: TUNA SALAD - Toss finely chopped toasted pecans into your favourite tuna salad. Spoon onto multigrain bread and top with crisp watercress leaves.
- Spruce up your tuna salad's mayonnaise with a little minced garlic, diced sundried tomatoes, chopped fresh basil and fresh lemon juice. Serve on a crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside French baguette.
SANDWICH STANDBY: EGG SALAD - Turn your egg salad into a B.(E.)L.T. Slice your favourite baguette or kaiser in half and top with lettuce, egg salad, crisp bacon slices and fresh tomato.
- Go a bit more daring with a curried egg salad. Add mild or hot curry powder, finely chopped green onions, lemon juice, a little Dijon and some toasted sliced almonds to your egg salad. Serve on a whole grain roll.
SANDWICH STANDBY: SMOKED TURKEY - Spread Dijon mayonnaise on a wholewheat roll and top with smoked turkey, aged cheddar, crisp bacon and arugula leaves.
- Line the inside of a pita pocket with smoked turkey, grated mozzarella, thinly sliced red onions, chopped cilantro, shredded iceberg lettuce, salsa and a dollop of sour cream.
