Sandwich Spreads

Sandwich Spreads should be part of your regular meal rotation in the summer. They're easy to make, inexpensive, made ahead of time, use the best of summer produce, and are the perfect thing to point your kids toward when they complain how hungry they are! Whew. Serve them with tortillas for wraps, mini sandwich buns for tiny sandwiches, or whole wheat bread for big appetites. Chicken Salad Sandwich Spread, pictured, is my current fav.
