Contributing EditorFrom packed lunches on family day trips to picnics in the park, it’s officially the season for eating on-the-go. Tickle your tastebuds with these yummy meat-free sandwich fillings … so good you’ll want them all!
Summer lunches don’t have to mean the same old sarnies. Why not swap your usual fillings for the delicious Quorn Deli range, a tasty alternative to chicken or ham.
Not only is Quorn a great source of protein, it's an easy (and tasty!) way to reduce the amount of meat your family eats.
Check out these five crowd-pleasing – and meat-free – sandwich fillings the whole family will love.
1. VLT with Quorn Vegan Smoky Ham Slices
The BLT has had a makeover! This yummy vegan version uses Quorn Vegan Smoky Ham Slices and is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
It’s super easy to whip up: toast two slices of bread and spread on some vegan mayonnaise. Top with tomatoes, lettuce, and Quorn Vegan Smoky Ham Slices.
All that’s left to do is eat!

3. Coronation chicken with Quorn Pieces
Chicken tops the list of the UK’s favourite sandwich filling. But why not mix things up by using Quorn Pieces instead. High in protein and low in saturated fat, simply cook them on the hob or in the microwave for nine minutes.
For this simple coronation chicken recipe, cover the Quorn Pieces with curried mayonnaise, add some raisins and voila, your sandwich filling is ready.
Follow the recipe, below, and just remember to swap out the chicken for the tasty meat-free alternative.

Spread the hummus over your bread and then top with Quorn Vegan Pepperoni. Easy peasy and oh so good.

Pop cheese slices onto a slice of bread and top with Quorn Vegetarian Ham Slices. Add a few spinach leaves then grill until the cheese has started to melt.
