Easy Vegan Sandwich – A Great Way to Eat your Veggies
If you had to pick the most iconic lunch, I could almost guarantee you that it would be a sandwich. Well for me, my most iconic sandwich is this Easy Vegan Sandwich!
Why do we love sandwiches?
Whether it’s hot, cold, fancy, or simple, for some reason we love sandwiches. I would guess it’s the simplicity of not needing utensils and the full range of possibilities that you can put between two slices of bread.
A bit of background for this recipe
Growing up, I never liked sandwiches. In fact, I thought it was the worst meal you could possibly feed me. I was never really into bread because I loved rice, so much so that I ate it in every meal… breakfast, lunch, dinner… you name it!
It wasn’t until my mom made me what we called “The Ultimate Veggie Sandwich” that I slowly developed an appreciation for what I thought was the most overrated meal.
More about this sandwich
What makes this sandwich so special are a few special ingredients! No matter what random veggies I have left over in my fridge or what happens to be on sale in the store, there are 4 important ingredients that make this sandwich “The Ultimate Veggie Sandwich”.
The four needed ingredients are Spike Seasoning, Vegenaise Mayo, Avocado, and Alfalfa Sprouts. It also definitely helps having a good bread to seal the deal. I love the Food For Life or Dave’s Killer Bread.
Without further ado, here’s a very basic styling of how I typically love to enjoy this sandwich. It’s incredibly easy to put together, meal prep for your week, and exponentially affordable!
