We reveal the winners in our sandwich competition and give the nutrition info and the sandwiches recipes.
Sandwich Competition Winning Recipes
WLR set visitors to the site a simple challenge: tell us your favourite sandwich recipes. The only restriction: to keep it under 350 calories.
After much "mmm"-ing and "uugh"-ing over the entrants we narrowed it down to a shortlist to make up and test. And when the crumbs settled the final thirteen (and new owners of luxury picnic cooler bags) were decided.
The chosen baker's dozen:

We have seen that there are a lot of things you can do with bread and some filling; even with the limit of 350kcals. The entries took our tastebuds in many different directions to a wide range of places showing us that the humble sarnie is constrained only by the imagination and the tastes of the individual.
One thing we discovered from the contest was the power of pickles, chutneys and caramelised spreads to liven up a sandwich without the calorie hangovers that tend to come with mayonnaises.
Also, always be prepared to consider new taste combinations; your new favourite sandwich recipe could be out there just waiting to be found.
