Some ideas for low sodium sandwich fillings, to be updated on an irregular basis. My husband loves salad, but not in sarnies, so there is an unashamed meat bias here. My top tips are to make sure your Sunday roast is big enough to leave leftovers, and to buy fillets to cook and slice yourself - those "delicatessen" meats in the supermarket are chock full of salt.
- Pork & apple sauce
- Chicken breast with chilli and lime (marinade in chilli and lime juice, then char grill - slice the chicken before or after, depending how much crispy edge you like)
- Emmental and sliced tomato or chutney (much lower in sodium than pickle)
- Roast beef and mustard (make your own mustard - the powder has no sodium in it compared to ready-made mustard which has 3g per 100g)
- Lamb and mint sauce

It's the usual thing, if you care about what you eat, you need to make it yourself. We went out to a restaurant the other week, and I found myself drinking quantities of water because of all the salt they'd put on perfectly good ingredients that would have tasted much better if their flavour had been allowed to shine through. Do you think there'll be lawsuits one day?

So true - I drink gallons of water whenever I go out to eat. And I had never noticed until the last few months how bitter salt makes things taste!
