WHILE WE STAN A GOOD SALAD, THERE’S SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT BITING INTO A FULLY-LOADED SANDWICH. With its slightly toasted bread and tower of fillings, a sandwich can deliver the components of a complete meal. It’s satisfying, easy to customise (and transport!) and often downright delish. Yet this solid solution doesn’t have the same health halo as some of its midday counterparts. But that’s really because we haven’t been giving it enough credit, nutritionally speaking.

“Sandwiches are the absolute best – I’d even go so far as to call them the ultimate ‘power lunch’ order,” says dietician Jaclyn London, author of Dressing on the Side (and Other Diet Myths Debunked) and podcast host of The Business of Wellness. But it all depends on what you actually put between those two slices of bread.
