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.

  • Susanne posted a very nice note about my Bread Machine Raisin Bread and many of my other bread machine recipes – “The raisin bread is outstanding! I’ve made it so many times I no longer have to follow the recipe. All of the Bread Dad recipes I’ve tried have come out perfect and delicious. It’s so nice to not have to experiment with other online recipes—I just go to the Bread Dad site & choose a new variety~~I know it will be great. I’ve made 16 different breads so far & have not been disappointed. Thank you Bread Dad—your instructions & hints are the BEST!“
  • Trisha left a great tip on how to convert my Bread Machine French Bread into a softer Italian bread – “Bread dad single handedly taught me how to use a bread machine to make the most delicious breads! His recipes are always the go-to in our household This French bread recipe definitely gets the most use, though! It has a perfect crumby crust and hard bottom, and if you want it to be a little softer (more like an Italian loaf vs the French loaf) all you have to do is add a small amount of fat (oil, butter, coconut oil, etc) making it a perfect recipe for basically any bread need.“
  • Heather left some amazing details on how to make “cinnamon crunch” bagels & “no boil” bagels in the comment section of my Bread Machine Bagels recipes. Read Heather’s whole comment for extra information – “If anyone wants to try it, I make my bagels into cinnamon crunch bagels by melting some butter, dipping the top into the butter and then dipping the top into a bowl of cinnamon sugar. Then I put it into the oven at 400 for 8 minutes. Take it out immediately and give it at least 5 minutes to cool, unless you want to deal with molten sugar in your mouth.“
  • Janette left me a super nice comment about my buttery Bread Machine White Bread & bread machine recipes – “Love this recipe. Actually, love all the bread dad recipes. I have used this bread for toast, sandwiches, and just bread and butter. Most of the bread dad recipes I use, just go through the dough cycle and then you do the rest…which I love, but this one is soooooo very easy. I seem to be making it every other day. Thanks, Bread Dad! Keep up the great work bringing us fabulous recipes for our bread machines.“
  • Martha converted my Bread Machine Breadstick Recipe into some awesome cheesy breadsticks – “These are quick & easy to make, and they’re a great way to class up any meal from a simple soup & salad to a full on gourmet meal. I just took a batch out of the oven for tonight. This time I split the dough into 16 equal pieces and rolled them into slightly flattened balls, brushed with the EVOO & sprinkled with freshly grated parm. Outstanding! As good, if not better than any artisan bread you may find in the breadbasket at a nice restaurant.“
