List of Best Sandwich Condiments

This page looks at a wide variety of sandwich condiments that can be used to add lots of flavor to a boring old sandwich. A sandwich condiment is a spice, sauce, spread and/or ingredient (i.e. pickled vegetables) that adds extra flavor to traditional sandwich fillings such as ham, tofu, chicken, roast beef, turkey, etc. These sandwich condiments are typically spread or sprinkled on the sandwich bread or filing. Many sandwich condiments are also used to add a little moisture to sandwiches that might be too dry for some people’s tastes.

If you are looking for great sandwich ideas, you might like to visit our section on the best sandwich recipe books. Or if you are looking for unique sandwich meats (i.e. bison, wild boar, wagyu steak, elk, duck sausage, etc.) to go with these condiments, please visit Bread Dad’s section on sandwich ingredients.

List of Sandwich Condiments – Alphabetical Order

  1. Barbecue Sauce – Barbecue sauce is often used as a condiment on meat-based sandwiches.
  2. Butter – Some sandwiches such as the traditional English cucumber sandwich use butter as an ingredient & condiment.
  3. Cheese – Flavorful cheeses such as Pepper Jack Cheese are often used as condiments in order to add more flavor to a sandwich.
  4. Cranberry Sauce – This condiment is great with turkey sandwiches!!
  5. Guacamole – Guacamole is a great addition to a sandwich. However, it turns brown quickly (oxidizes) so you should consider buying small packages or creating small batches in order to avoid wasting your delicious guac!
  6. Herbs – Some sandwich lovers like to stir their favorite herb (i.e. rosemary) into mayonnaise or yogurt to create their own delicious sandwich condiment and spread.
  7. Honey
  8. Horseradish Sauce – Horseradish is a spicy condiment that is good with roast beef sandwiches. Horseradish sauce is usually made from grated horseradish root and vinegar.
  9. Hot Sauce – Well-known hot sauces include Red Hot, Sriracha Sauce, Tabasco Sauce, etc.
  10. Hummus – Hummus is a spreadable condiment made from chickpeas. This condiment originated in the Middle East.
  11. Jams & Jellies – Jams & jellies can be made out of any kind of edible fruit or berry.
  12. Ketchup – Famous for use on hamburgers and hot dogs, ketchup is also used as a condiment on a wide range of sandwiches (i.e. fried egg sandwiches).
  13. Kimchi – This popular Korean dish is often used to spice up a sandwich. Kimchi is made from fermented vegetables (i.e. cabbage).
  14. Mayonnaise – Beyond regular mayonnaise, sandwich lovers also like to use flavored mayonnaises such as avocado mayonnaise, wasabi mayonnaise, etc. Mayo is great on a BLT sandwich!
  15. Mustard – Famous on hot dogs but mustard is also used on a wide variety of sandwiches. Go beyond yellow mustard and explore different mustards such as sriracha mustard, dill mustard, sweet mustard, etc.
  16. Olive Oil – Many Italian-style sandwiches use olive oil as a condiment and spread.
  17. Peanut Butter – I think of peanut butter as a sandwich filing (i.e. a peanut butter sandwich). However, some nut lovers like to spread on a very thin layer of peanut butter in order to add a little bit of peanut flavor to a sandwich. Other people like to use almond butter, cashew butter, Nuttela, etc.
  18. Pepper – Sandwich fanatics often like to use black pepper or white pepper to add flavor to their creations.
  19. Pesto Sauce – Pesto sauce is wonderful on chicken sandwiches, mozzarella sandwiches, etc.
  20. Pickles
  21. Pickled Sweet or Hot Peppers
  22. Pickled Vegetables – Beyond pickles or pickled peppers, there are many other delicious pickled vegetables (i.e. pickled eggplants or pickled onions).
  23. Red Pepper Flakes – To add a little zing to their lunch, some people like to put red pepper flakes on their sandwiches.
  24. Relish – Relish is product made of chopped up vegetables and herbs. It is often made with pickles or cucumbers.
  25. Salad Dressing – Some sandwich lovers like to add salad dressings (i.e. ranch dressing) to their sandwiches.
  26. Salsa – Salsa is a great condiment for wraps such as burritos.
  27. Salt
  28. Vinaigrette – Many Italian-style sandwiches also use vinaigrette as a condiment and spread.
  29. Wasabi – Wasabi is a Japanese paste with a taste similar to horseradish. Since it can be a little overpowering, wasabi can be toned down by mixing it with mayonnaise.
  30. Yogurt – Some people use yogurt spreads (i.e. yogurt with herbs) as a low fat alternative to mayonnaise.

More Exotic Condiments – Popular in countries outside of America.

  1. Anchovy Paste – A condiment made from anchovy, a small saltwater fish.
  2. Chutney – Chutney is a fruit or vegetable based condiment that originated in India. It is also extremely popular in countries such as England. There is a huge variety of chutneys such as:
    1. Apple-based chutneys
    2. Coconut-based chutneys
    3. Mango-based chutneys
    4. Tomato-based chutney
    5. And many more
  3. Curry Paste – Indian food lovers like to add a little bit of curry paste to mayonnaise or yogurt to create a more flavorful sandwich condiment.
  4. Marmite – Marmite is a traditional British sandwich condiment made mainly from yeast extract and salt.
  5. Vegemite – Vegemite is an Australian condiment similar to Marmite.

I want to thank EVERYONE who leaves a comment in our recipe comment sections!! Beginners learn a lot from your tips & recipe variations. Below are some of our recent noteworthy visitor comments.

  • THarris posted some delicious ingredient additions to my Eggless Banana Bread Recipe – “Amazing,delish! Added orange rind, vanilla extract, cinnamon – all one tsp each. Used oil instead of butter.“
  • Jessica made some amazing chocolate chip bagels out of our Bread Machine Bagels recipe and kindly posted some very useful tips – “I experimented with the chocolate chips. So what I did was let the dough cool for a bit after the dough cycle, but before it started rising again was sectioned it into 8 pieces. I gently kneaded in a handful of chocolate chips into the individual pieces. I shaped my pieces into bagels. I was sure to fold in the chocolate chips so none of them were or exposed on the surface of the dough. I then boiled and baked each bagel. They came out perfect. Chocolate chips held up just fine. The bagels tasted great. I ate one immediately after they had baked, and then contemplated eating the whole batch. They were the perfect chewy consistency I was hoping for in a bagel.“
  • Dutch posted a wonderful oatmeal variation of my No Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies – “I reviewed these amazing cookies a few weeks ago, easily giving them five stars, and mentioned that I planned on trying them again with oatmeal. Today is my grandson’s birthday and when asked what he’d like me to make for him, without hesitation, he asked for Bread Dad’s cookies. Just finished making them… adding two cups of regular oats with the chocolate chips, and cutting them into the batter with a spatula. The results were perfect. The cookies had a bit more heft to them AND I got a few more… about 48. Again… I was religious about chilling the dough. Thanks again for the recipe!“
  • PattiAnn posted some great tips on how to make my Bread Machine Italian Bread Recipe in her Breville countertop oven. Please visit the comments section on the recipe page for more of her comment. – “I always use the proof funtion in winter as well as summer. This gives you a constant temp when proofing. Also, most of the time I will lay a piece of foil lightly over the loaf halfway through the baking process. This prevents over browning of the loaf. This happens because your loaf is in a more confined oven and closer to the heating elements.. I also bake in CI, Romatopf, bread bowls, all works. As long as it fits you can use it to bake in. I used an Italian bread pan to bake the Italian loaves.“
  • SamanthaH posted some great “end products” that use my Bread Machine French Bread. I am going to try out her pizza bread idea tonight! – “This bread has been a staple in our home for a couple years now! I make it and freeze so it’s available when needed. Makes amazing garlic bread, bruschetta, pizza bread, or on its own with butter. So impressed with the recipe and the minimal ingredients is a huge plus!!!“
