Celebrities’ Dip-licious Sandwich Secrets

Tamzin OuthwaiteActress Tamzin Outhwaite and perfect housewife Anthea Turner are sharing their sandwich secrets with the nation to mark British Sandwich Week (11 -17 May).

Tamzin’s all time favourite is taramasalata and watercress in wholemeal pitta bread. "This is really delicious and only takes a minute to make. Watercress is really healthy and the taramasalata is high in beneficial unsaturated fats and light on unhealthy saturated fats."

In true perfect housewife fashion, Anthea likes to use up the left-overs from the weekend and lists her favourite lunchtime sandwich as a Chicken Wrap with Salsa, Guacamole and Sour Cream. "I use up the roast chicken from the Sunday lunch and then add some fresh dips to it to create this delicious and nutritious wrap. And then I can use the rest of the dips for when my friends come round."

Anthea TurnerFresh dips make a great alternative to butter, margarine and mayonnaise and as well as adding "oomph" to your lunchtime sarnie, will save you calories too. Swap a tablespoon of butter for Tzatziki and you’ll save 91 calories, Guacamole, 83 calories, Sour Cream and Chive, 63 calories, or 45 calories with Onion and Garlic dip.

So whether you’re making a sandwich to enjoy at home or to take into work, knocking them up has never been as quick and easy, and with over 45 different flavoured fresh dips available you’ll never get bored.
