A great sandwich can be made even better with the right sidekick. While chips or salad are classic options, have you ever thought about pairing your sandwich with pretzels? They’re the perfect complement to a variety of sandwiches. Let’s take a closer look at which sandwiches go best with pretzels and how to make your meal even more enjoyable.
Classic Deli Sandwiches
There’s something about the hearty flavors of classic deli sandwiches like pastrami, corned beef, and turkey that pairs wonderfully with the salty crunch of a pretzel. The richness of the meat, and the creaminess of mustard or mayo contrast beautifully with the satisfying bite of a pretzel. If you’re having a big sandwich stacked with layers, the pretzel will add just the right balance of texture to complement all the flavors.
Grilled Cheese
Grilled cheese is a timeless comfort food that almost everyone loves. When paired with pretzels, it’s like taking your sandwich to the next level. The warm, melty cheese inside the sandwich combined with the crunch of a classic salted pretzel creates the ultimate snack experience. You can even experiment with different cheese types—cheddar, Swiss, or even a creamy brie—to pair with your favorite pretzel variety.
Veggie or Hummus Sandwiches
Looking for a lighter, vegetarian option? Veggie sandwiches or ones filled with hummus are perfect for pairing with pretzels. The crunch of the pretzel complements the freshness of the vegetables, whether you’re enjoying cucumbers, tomatoes, or classic avocado spread. The lightness of a veggie or hummus sandwich pairs wonderfully with the hearty crunch of a whole grain pretzel, making it a satisfying but not overwhelming meal.
Chicken or Chicken Salad Sandwiches
For a more protein-packed option, chicken sandwiches pair wonderfully with pretzels. The savory flavor of the chicken combined with the soft, crunch texture of a pretzel creates a satisfying combination. You can add a little mustard or mayo on the side for dipping, or even opt for a spicy Buffalo chicken sandwich for a bit of a kick.
Next time you’re enjoying any of these sandwiches, don’t forget the pretzels. They’re the perfect sidekick, offering the ideal mix of crunch and flavor. Whether you’re going classic with a deli sandwich or experimenting with grilled cheese, pretzels can elevate your lunch to new heights.
