Vegan sandwich ideas
When it comes to creating your own tasty plant-based sandwiches, it is super easy. A couple of slices of bread, your favorite condiment, healthy fillings, and always something green.
Here are some delicious vegan sandwich options to help you build the perfect sandwich.
- Choose your vehicle: Bread is the key to any good sandwich because it keeps everything together. I like whole wheat bread, a nice hearty seed and grain bread, or sourdough bread, But you could also use wraps, flatbread, or even whole wheat tortillas.
- Dressings and sauces: The life of any delicious sandwich is the sauce or condiment. It brings life, texture, and, most importantly, flavor! My go-tos, in no particular order: vegan mayo, Dijon mustard, homemade vegan cheese sauce, creamy hummus, cream cheese, or BBQ sauce.
- Seasonings: Depending on the type of veggies you use in your sandwich, seasonings and spices are a great way to add flavor. You can’t go wrong with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, nutritional yeast, and everyone’s favorite, basil. Salt and pepper is never a bad option.
- Vegan sandwich fillings: When it comes to what to stuff between your bread, it’s limitless. But here are just a few suggestions: creamy avocado, bell peppers, fresh veggies, alfalfa sprouts, sliced tomato, spring onion, and more.
- Mock meats: We all want substance in our sandwiches, and dare I say it, something “meaty.” But that doesn’t mean we have to succumb to animal products or store-bought crap. Soy curls, jackfruit, tempeh, and tofu are all excellent options. Not to mention, an excellent source of plant-based protein.
