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 fantastic baking tips. Below are some recent visitor comments. For even more great visitor tips & recipe variations, please visit Bread Dad’s Noteworthy Visitor Comments page.

  • Helen added some amazing variation ideas to our Flaxseed Bread recipe – “Great recipe and a reminder to keep flax seed in the freezer as it tends to go rancid. I usually sub oil for butter, worked well, used part whole wheat, and used honey instead of sugar. Next time I’ll try adding cranberries and cinnamon instead of herbs as we loved the cranberry nut bread.“
  • Monica posted some delicious upgrade ideas to our No Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe – “Your eggless cookies tasted great (and the dough was exceptional…to eat, of course!) I added mini chips and oatmeal. I added a bit more milk and baking soda. I baked them for 14 minutes. They would have been great with coconut, also. I just seem to have to re-create….lol I had no eggs, so bless you for this recipe!!!! Yummy, yum, yum!!!! Thank you!!!“
  • Linda added some fantastic enhancements to our Bread Machine 100% Whole Wheat Bread – “OMyGoodness! I have been baking bread for over 40 years and this is one of the best recipes I’ve come across. I never thought bread machine bread could be so soft and yummy! I used white whole wheat flour, coconut milk, coconut sugar, vegan butter, and added 2 tablespoons of raw sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds. I can’t thank you enough!“
  • Dorlene posted a great variation to our Golden Raisin Banana Bread – “I followed your no-butter banana bread recipe exactly (using grapeseed oil) with two additions after the batter has been completely mixed: 1) 100 grams of chopped pecans and 2) 200 grams golden raisins soaked overnight in warm water, drained, and chopped in the Cuisinart (they’re invisible in the baked loaf but I think they contribute to its moistness)”…  “Thank you for creating this website and providing so much useful information. I especially appreciate your including metric conversions for all of the ingredients, ensuring accuracy”.
  • Leanne posted an amazing variation to our 2 Banana Bread Recipe – “Phenomenal recipe for two(medium) bananas. Followed the suggestions and added the extra milk, walnuts and fresh blueberries. I reduced the sugar to nearly 2/3 and the resulting bread was delicious! Perfect crumb, moisture and taste”… “PS: added cinnamon and a little ginger powder as well. It’s just yummy“
  • Lisa made some awesome crotons out of our Bread Machine All Purpose Flour Bread (Country White Bread) – “I simply cut them up into cubes the day after making the bread, I melted a 50/50 combination of butter with an olive/avocado blend oil in a skillet and put the bread cubes in to coat. It takes several batches. Then put them on a cookie sheet, sprinkled with sea salt and baked them on a low oven around 250 for about 45 minutes. I just watch them closely to get them dried but not too brown. I have stuck with the recipe as written and I am completely serious…they are amazing!“
