Mixed with smoked salmon, mayo and a little lemon. It was absolutely GORGEOUS

What other veg can I grate and stick in a sarnie?

Similar to what you've already done, but i make wraps with grated cheese, grated carrot, grated cucumber, and a sprinkle of raisins.

I've just discovered grilled artichoke hearts (from a jar, I'm not that energetic), sliced in a wrap with other stuff. Very nice. Might work in a sandwich too...

I love artichoke hearts. Pretty much my favourite addition to a standard pizza.

You could probably grate courgette as well.

Roasted pepper. Not grated and only works if you're going to eat straight away.

OOOH wraps with peanut butter, grated carrot and cucumber and a drizzle of sweet chilli. Yum. Even better with a sprinkle of spring onion and some coriander...

sorry what was the question?!

ohfourfoxache · 08/01/2019 20:16

Oh wow, some absolutely fantastic ideas - thank you! I’m really starting to look forward to my future work lunches Blush

Grated carrot and cheese, scrape of mayonnaise, dollop of caramelised onion chutney and black pepper.

Wilhelminawonka · 08/01/2019 20:59

Grated carrot, raisins and salted peanuts with mayo. That's lunch tomorrow sorted

confusedandemployed · 08/01/2019 21:00

Blatant place marking, I'm rubbish at sarnies.

I once worked with a woman whose standard lunch was a sandwich she made with sliced white bread and TINNED carrots.

I don't recommend it, it looked, and smelled, gross.

viques · 08/01/2019 21:03

Ps grated beetroot is lovely but messy.

MinorProphet · 08/01/2019 21:06

Tuna, mayo, olives, grated veg. Lush.

BrightonBB · 08/01/2019 21:06

Pitta with houmous and grated cheese/carrot and tomatoes.

sackrifice · 08/01/2019 21:08

Avocado! Not grated obvs, but just sliced with some cheese, chilli, rocket etc.

HildaZelda · 08/01/2019 21:27

Following with interest. My mouth is literally watering here.

feliciabirthgiver · 08/01/2019 21:36

Grated carrot, cheese and raisins - my daughter's favourite in a slightly warmed pitta.

CormoranStrike · 08/01/2019 21:40

Sliced apple and sliced banana is absolutely lush in a sandwich.

Pumpkintopf · 08/01/2019 21:45

These sound delicious.

Smoked salmon, mayo with a squeeze of lemon, and capers.

Applesaregreenandred · 09/01/2019 17:02

Mix your grated carrot and cucumber with raisins and hummus

PickAChew · 09/01/2019 17:11

Grated carrot is lovely with peanut butter.

And try grated raw beetroot. There's a hfw salad recipe with grated beetroot, toasted cumin and walnuts and orange juice which would be lovely in a sarnie with feta or another crumbly cheese like wensleydale.

GoFiguire · 09/01/2019 17:14

Mashed potato.

ThatsNotNiceRoger · 09/01/2019 17:15

It’s like all my worst sandwiches in one thread!

BadlyAgedMemes · 09/01/2019 17:19

I tried a peanut butter and banana sandwich today. I like peanut butter. I like banana. I did NOT like the sandwich. Weirdly claggy.

gingercat02 · 09/01/2019 17:22

Celery and cheese is really nice
