Do you want a super fun idea for making your kids’ lunches? Try the new Hellman’s Squeeze Bottle and leave a message for your children in their school lunch. My children may be grown up but they would love this. I have two great memories of making lunches. My wife and I split the duties (well she made them 90% of the time – if you call that splitting) of making school lunches for the kids and she would always put a handwritten note in their lunchboxes. Using this squeeze bottle would be so much more fun and playful. My second memory is that my dad always made the sandwiches for my brothers and me. He brought an art form to sandwich making. Everything had to fit just right. The ingredients were always perfectly cut to fit to the bread. My Dagwood sandwich is an ode to that memory and an ode to my older children. You are never too old for a great sandwich.
How to Write a Sandwich #SQUEEZEMOREOUT
If you are a baby boomer, then you know exactly what I am talking about. If not, let me introduce you to a classic sandwich and a classic sandwich maker. As in all recipes, the secret is good ingredients. The ultimate secret to a good sandwich is the sauce. I used the new Hellmann’s Squeeze Bottle with Olive Oil Mayonnaise Dressing. This olive oil mayonnaise dressing really classes up a classic sandwich. I love the texture and flavor the olive oil adds to the mayonnaise. My sandwich creation is loaded. I used two kinds of lettuce, four types of meat and some great Muenster cheese. This sandwich was a monster. I shared some leftovers with my father, the original sandwich maker, and he told me he had to take it apart to even eat it. Success!
I had such fun planning this post to show off the new Hellman’s Squeeze Bottle and #SqueezeMoreOut program. First, I got to develop a sandwich. I love sandwiches and it is my regular Sunday ritual to make a great sandwich. If you would like to try Hellmann’s new Squeeze Bottle click this link to get a coupon to help you buy a bottle. The second and super fun part was to find a way to present that sandwich that would support the idea that it is great to use this squeeze bottle for school lunches. I have to give a shout out to my wife here. I told her what the theme was and we brainstormed ideas for the food styling. She sparked the idea that brought me back to elementary school and that paper we wrote on as we learned to write cursive. I had almost as much fun writing with chalk as I did making this sandwich.
- 2 slices crusty bread
- 2 slices smoked chicken
- 1 slice roast beef
- 2 slices hard salami
- 2 slices corned beef
- 1 piece of radicchio
- 1 piece of leaf lettuce
- 2 slices Muenster cheese
- 1 tablespoon Hellman's Olive Oil Mayonnaise
- Begin with one slice of crusty bread and the radicchio.
- Top with the cheese and 1/2 of the Hellman's Olive Oil Mayonnaise Dressing
- Next, add 2 slices of hard salami.
- Continue with adding 2 pieces of corned beef.
- Next add the smoked chicken slices and then the roast beef.
- Top with the leaf lettuce.
- Finish off with the remaining mayonnaise.
- Place the final piece of bread on top and dig in.

What a fun idea to write a name on a sandwich, my kids would love it! And your Dagwood sandwich sounds amazing too!
What a yummy looking sandwich!
Thx Kelley.
I totally remember the Dagwood sandwiches! Loved that comic strip. You did it justice, too. : )
We date ourselves with Dagwood but that is OK when it comes to sandwiches.
I just came back from training and this sandwich would be the perfect treat for me now. Looks very tempting!!
I assume you mean exercise? A lot of protein here to help with recovery.
gotta love a piles high dagwood sandwich, looks tasty!
Thx Diane.
That’s such a clever idea. The sandwich looks delicious!
Thx so much Jillian.
Such a fun and delicious idea!
Thx Justine.
That is one gorgeous looking sandwich and I am liking the new Hellman’s mayo in the squeeze bottle, so easy!
Thx Tara.
Wow Peter! Love the colors of your sandwich! Can’t wait to replicate it at home.
Thx so much Tiffany.
Dear Peter, your sandwich looks terrific! I love a good sandwich myself…the new squeeze bottle is perfect. I like it so much than the other. Have a great day my friend, Catherine
It makes using the mayonnaise so much easier!
This is a very fun idea and I am sure writing a message on a sandwich will bring a big smile on a child’s face. We don’t have this particular product in Greece but I am a Hellmann’s client in mayo as well!
It is all about the smile!
Dagwood! Now that IS Nostalgic. Hellman’s new #squeezemoreout bottle would definitely have been in Dagwood’s cuboard. This sauce looks crazy good! The sandwich is simply stupendous!
Thx Diane and you are right, Dagwood would be a big fan!
I love the Hellman’s with Mayo!! It has a much richer flavor and adds a lot to our sandwiches 🙂
I certainly agree Rebecca.
What a fun idea! I love Hellmann’s. I grew up on another brand, which shall not be mentioned, but once I moved to the East Coast and tasted Hellmann’s I never went back. It is simply the best!
Michelle, my wife grew up on another brand too. But Hellmann’s ruled our house!
I do a lot of my grocery shopping at ALDI. But mayo is the one thing I wont buy there! I need my hellmanns!
Very funny Kristen. I hear you.
What a fun idea for a post Peter! I was so happy when Hellmann’s introduced their olive oil mayo…it has all the wonderful flavor of the original which my family adores. I’m happy to say it has taken up permanent residence in my fridge!
I have been using the olive oil variety since they came out with it. I really like it. Glad you do too.
Peter, what a heavenly sandwich! I need to pick up some Hellmann’s olive oil mayo next.
Thx so much Liz.
That is one delicious sandwich!!! And I never make any sandwich without mayo as it always adds flavor!
It just is not a sandwich if it does not have mayo!
I love those squeezable mayo bottles!
Diana, the squeeze bottles are perfect and offer so much fun!
This looks so good! I love sandwiches! And, that olive oil squeeze mayo is my favorite!
I so agree with you Debi.
I wouldn’t even need the bread for this. I love this filling combo. Crunchy and satisfying! We call it Best Foods and it is delish. Happy they’re using healthful olive oil now.
The olive oil adds great flavor and makes the mayo healthier.
This looks amazing, sandwich is always a winner!
Thx vegan man! 🙂
So my kids love their squeeze Hellman’s Mayo bottle so I am sure they will love doing this.
Is the squeeze bottle for the kids or the parents?
I like the new squeeze bottle, and the olive oil mayo sounds delicious
The squeeze bottle is so convenient.
What a fun idea! And oh my goodness your sandwich looks delicious! I’m such a fan of Hellmann’s mayonnaise – I really do think it is the tastiest!
Thx and I certainly agree that Hellmann’s is the best.
