Everyone loves a good sandwich, but the same cold cut between store-bought bread gets boring after a while. It’s important to try new things with this lunchtime classic, so let’s look at three exciting ways to spice up your sandwich.

Switch Up the Toppings
Lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle are all classic sandwich ingredients. They add an extra bit of texture and flavor to the experience and are generally healthy.
But you can mix up the whole game with only a few changes. Try fresh spinach instead of lettuce, and thin-sliced pickled radish adds a satisfying crunch and tang to any lunch.
Pump Up the Bread
It’s not a sandwich without the bread, but when spicing up your lunch, it’s good to look at the variety of bread options available. If plain white bread isn’t cutting the mustard anymore, try looking for other varieties, like brioche or ciabatta.
If you want to use up the loaf you have, a thin spread of butter or mayonnaise will add texture and flavor to a grilled sandwich. And if you’re looking to cut back on carbs, you may even consider a healthy bagel as an alternative.
Don’t Forget the Sauces
One of the most important parts of a sandwich is often the most overlooked. Condiments bring a smorgasbord of flavors and spices that other ingredients don’t. Whether you’re an oil and vinegar purist or a classic mustard and mayo soul, there are a lot of flavors to unlock with the right condiments.
Don’t be afraid to add spices to the sauces and dressings you already have in your fridge to make a delicious and creamy aioli. Many companies understand that sandwich eaters are looking for bolder flavors, so keep an eye out in the condiment aisle next time you’re at your local supermarket and see what jumps out at you.
Sandwiches are a staple of any meal, and there are endless combinations for people to try. But by carefully examining what you’re already doing and seeing what you can add, you’re sure to find exciting ways to spice up your sandwich.
