15 Aldi Condiments That Take Sandwiches From Bland To Bold In 5 Seconds Flat

Even though sandwiches seem simple, they're harder to put together than you'd think. Are they two pieces of bread with some kind of filling? Maybe, but is a wrap a sandwich? What about hot dogs? If you have a breakfast sandwich served between two hash browns, does that count even though there's no bread? Instead of worrying about what constitutes a sandwich, let's focus on what makes one taste good. Nobody likes a bland sandwich, regardless of what it's served on. Luckily, Aldi has plenty of condiments that can dress up any sandwich, no matter how you assemble it.

Tom Colicchio once shared some tips for using sauce to balance a sandwich. "One of the best things about sandwiches is the endless potential to create something new and delicious," he told the Longview News-Journal, and that's exactly what the breadth of sauces, spreads, and dips from Aldi lets you do. The store offers much more than traditional mayo and mustard. Customers have tried building sandwiches with a number of novel choices you'll only find at Aldi, and the results sound like they're well worth the effort.

The options we've chosen here have all proven themselves as reliable sandwich condiments, even if some are a little outside the box. These sauces, dips, and spreads will pack a punch that can liven up any lunch. Just like Tom Colicchio said, "don't be afraid to experiment."

Burman's Chicken Dipping Sauce has been compared to Chick-fil-A's sauce, but with a slightly different seasoning. Aside from chicken, customers use it as a hamburger sauce, where its creamy, tangy flavor works like a traditional burger sauce. It's also right at home on a chicken sandwich, giving a zesty mayo taste with hints of vinegar, mustard, and lemon. It also has a touch of sweetness that can balance salty or spicy sandwich ingredients.

Purchase Burman's Chicken Dipping Sauce at Aldi for about $3.20.

Mustard is a welcome addition to many sandwiches, but Burman's Stone Ground Mustard is next level. The tangy mix of vinegar with whole mustard seeds livens up roast beef, chicken, or ham, and cuts through richness with bold flavor. Shoppers on social media have compared it to horseradish and praised the intense taste. When you have a lot of rich ingredients, it has a strong enough flavor to stand up to them. You can also mix it with mayonnaise for a milder, creamier result.

Purchase Burman's Stone Ground Mustard at Aldi for about $1.70.

The play of heat and sweet is what made hot honey popular, and Aldi upped the ante with Honey Sriracha Hot Sauce, combining honey with the peppery flavor of sriracha. Customers have compared it to Starbucks' spicy chili sriracha, and its sweet heat would work particularly well on a fried chicken sandwich. It could also add some heat to a turkey and Swiss or ham and cheddar sandwich. Try mixing a small amount into mayonnaise for a sweeter, creamier spread.

Purchase Burman's Honey Sriracha Hot Sauce at Aldi for about $3.50.

Another mustard from Burman's here, but it's not just the standard Dijon you may be used to. It's made with mustard seed and vinegar, as you might expect, but unlike popular brands like Maille, it includes white wine, making it more like Grey Poupon. Its sharpness has been compared to French's Dijon, and that flavor is ideal for a classic roast beef sandwich, ham and Swiss, or even some roast pork and apple if you're looking for something more involved.

Another Aldi private label, Tuscan Garden, offers a variety of salad dressings, olives, and salad toppers. Traditional ranch works well on sandwiches, especially fresh wraps, but this dressing brings a creamy, herbaceous flavor with dill notes that pairs with grilled chicken, bacon, and even seafood. Try it in tuna salad or a BLT. Mix sriracha into the dressing for a spicy, briny twist and add it to crispy chicken or a club sandwich.

Creamy, spicy sauces add a tasty kick to any sandwich, and Tuscan Garden Buffalo Ranch Dressing delivers a hybrid condiment that's greater than the sum of its parts. Sure, it works great with chicken wings, but the combination of Buffalo heat and cooling ranch also makes it a natural fit for fried chicken sandwiches. It can also boost or replace the mayo in tuna, chicken, or even egg salad. Try it on a grilled cheese for a spicy kick, or on a classic BLT for some bite.

Is a dip a sauce? It is if you spread it on a sandwich. Park Street Deli's Crab Rangoon Dip is made with imitation crab, cream cheese, and red chili peppers. It's rich and creamy, with a subtle crab flavor, a spicy kick, and notes of ginger. It's a natural choice for a shrimp po'boy or a fried catfish sandwich, but you can also expand beyond seafood. Try it with fried chicken, too. The sweetness, heat, and even crab all complement crispy chicken.

Purchase Park Street Deli Crab Rangoon Dip at Aldi for about $3.30.

Park Street Deli Mexicali Dip is another cream cheese-based dip. It's made with jalapeños, tomato, bell peppers, Monterey Jack cheese, spices, sour cream, and mayo. One fan on Reddit said they use it for sandwiches because "it's basically like a pimento cheese sandwich, but spicier." Pair it with a grilled chicken sandwich or ham and cheese for a creamy, spice-forward bite. It would also work especially well as a hamburger spread.

Park Street Deli Pineapple Poblano Guacamole brings a sweet and savory dimension to traditional guacamole. The poblano flavor provides an earthiness that plays off the avocado, but it's not overly spicy at all. Try it with roast pork or ham to really get the most from that pineapple flavor. It would also pair well with turkey and Swiss or grilled chicken. Try the guac on a sandwich with thick, crusty bread that can stand up to the thick spread.

Purchase Park Street Deli Pineapple Poblano Fresh Guacamole at Aldi for about $3.30.

If you've only had spinach and artichoke dip as an appetizer with tortilla chips or bread, you're missing out. Made with a blend of Asiago, Parmesan, and mozzarella, plus cream cheese, mayo, spinach, and artichokes, this dip is creamy, salty, and tangy. The artichoke chunks provide a nice textural contrast. Fans on social media have used it in grilled cheese sandwiches and spread it on flatbread with cheese and chicken. Try it with roast beef or even an Italian sub.

Purchase Park Street Deli Spinach Artichoke Dip at Aldi for about $3.30.

Park Street Deli Dill Dip brings a fresh, vibrant dill flavor profile to sandwiches and wraps along with a cheesy, creamy foundation. We placed it on our list of the best Aldi dips for party platters, but you can enjoy it in some unexpected ways, too. Try it on a Reuben instead of Russian dressing with a bit of sharp mustard mixed in. It will also pair very well with smoked salmon on a bagel.

Purchase Park Street Deli Dill Dip at Aldi for about $4.40.

If you already like pimento cheese sandwiches, then Happy Farms Pimento Cheese Spread gives you an easy way to make one at home. Yes, you can use it all on its own, but it really shines when you pair it with other ingredients in a sandwich. Add it to hot dogs for a twist on a classic cheese dog, or use it to replace the mayo in a BLT for a zesty upgrade. Also consider using it in a patty melt along with some grilled onions.

Purchase Happy Farms Pimento Cheese Spread at Aldi for about $3.65.

Park Street Deli Garlic Feta Dip made our list of must-grab picnic items under $10 from Aldi. It's reminiscent of a garlicky Lebanese toum with salty feta mixed in, making it an ideal sauce for wraps and sandwiches. It has a creamy, almost yogurt-like consistency that makes it a good replacement for sauces like mayo or ranch dressing. "I would do grilled chicken or salmon, cucumber, red onion or pickled onions and hummus," one Redditor said.

Purchase Park Street Deli Garlic Feta Dip at Aldi for about $3.

On the sweet side of sandwich condiments, Aldi makes a Dubai swirl spread that blends pistachio, cocoa, and kadayif pastry. If you like Dubai chocolate or Nutella, this combines elements of both. You can use it much like Nutella, and it makes a decadent sandwich on its own or with bananas or, especially, strawberries. Spread one piece of bread with peanut butter, and the other with the Dubai spread, then add a little strawberry jelly for an elevated PB&J.

Park Street Deli Street Corn Dip is made with roasted corn, mayo, sour cream, and three cheeses, including cream cheese, Monterey Jack, and cotija. We liked it enough to recommend it as one of the things you need to buy on your first visit to Aldi. Tangy, cheesy, and smoky, the dip works with fajita wraps or a carnitas torta. Try it with pulled pork mixed into a creamy slaw, or even on a breakfast sandwich with eggs and bacon.
