Chicken and Sweetcorn Sandwich
Chicken and sweetcorn, with a generous spoon of mayonnaise, a very popular sandwich filling in the UK, and we know why don't we - it's gorgeous! Those little pots of deli filling from a supermarket are tasty, easy and convenient, but if you mix just three ingredients together, you can make it at home for a third of the price! You'll know what's in it too, and can customise it to your hearts content.

- very finely sliced celery
- grated carrot
- fine chopped black olives
- add some fresh spinach leaves, lettuce or good old iceberg
- vary the bread, dependent on what you have in - sourdough, granary, floury baps, wraps or anything else you fancy
- add some sliced gherkins
- swap the mayonnaise for soft cheese for a different flavour
What else can I use this for

- top a baked potato with it
- dip some carrot batons in, for extra veg - we could all do with that!
