Tired of plain old mustard and mayonnaise and yearning for some new condiments for your sandwiches? Here are some ideas from Ladies Home Journal. I’m not so sure about the zesty white bean on tuna sandwiches, but all the others sound very good, particularly the blue cheese/walnut butter on a chicken sandwich.

Blue cheese and walnut butter — Great on roast chicken, beef or apple sandwiches. Beat 1/2 cup soft butter and 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese in a bowl. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts. Makes 1 cup.

Creamy peppery greens — Great on roast beef or corned beef sandwiches. Stir 1/3 cup minced arugula, 1/3 cup minced radicchio, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, salt and pepper into 1 cup of mayonnaise. Makes 1 2/3 cups.

Fig jam — Great on turkey or grilled cheese sandwiches. Put 1 cup chopped dried figs in 3 cups hot water for 25 minutes. Drain figs, reserving some liquid. Puree in a food processor. Add saved liquid until the mixture is spreadable. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon orange zest. Makes 2/3 cup.

Zesty white bean — Great on ham, veggie, or tuna steak sandwiches. Blend one (15-ounce) can rinsed cannellini beans in a food processor with 1 teaspoon lemon zest, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Makes 1 cup.
