Sundried tomatoes: Your sandwichs secret weapon

A simple flavour-boost tweak

Sundried tomatoes are jammed full of flavour and are really good for you. And they're the perfect secret weapon in your sandwich spread.

If you simply can't give up spreading creamy mayo onto your sandwich (because let's face it, mayo is just so tasty!), try this idea to cut down on the calories.

It really gives a delicious zing to your sarmie!

Sundried tomato and mayo spread

Add half a chopped sundried tomato to two teaspoons of light mayonnaise. Don't worry about losing flavour with a low-fat mayo option, the sundried tomato will make up for it.

If you want your spread creamier – without the bits of sundried tomato – simply blend the two ingredients together.

Healthy benefits

Sundried tomatoes are packed full of vitamins A and C, and lycopene. They also contain an element known as umami, which adds a delicious savoury flavour. Light mayo contains a higher percentage of water than oil. Look for mayonnaise bottles that have short ingredients lists and avoid fillers, such as high fructose corn syrup.
