It may be cold outside but that does not stop me from enjoying a nice sandwich or salad. I love a good sandwich that has all my favorite toppings and is slathered with a good sauce.
When I got the opportunity to review Hidden Valley’s Sandwich Spreads, me being thrilled would be an understatement. I already love hidden valley ranch and believe it’s the best ranch dressing out there. Yes, I just said that and I mean it. I can eat ranch on salads, pizza, hamburgers, in dips and now I have these spreads to include them on sandwiches.
Hidden Valley has four different options to chose from:
I have a hankering for spicy things, so the spicy chipotle pepper spread immediately caught my attention. After sampling the dip I knew I wanted to pair it with pesto and make a caprese sandwich. This sandwich needed to be taken up a notch by adding peppered bacon slices.
Bacon really needs to be added to all sandwiches! (sorry if you don’t like bacon but that is just my opinion) This sandwich has a little bit of heat going on with the chipotle spread but it goes well with the basil pesto. If you can’t take the heat then get out of the kitchen — just kidding but I would just recommend a different spread.
