Top 5 Vegetarian SandwichesAvocado, Grilled Tofu, Hummus & Almond Butter: Top Veggie Sandwiches
Sandwiches are the ubiquitous luncheon food. With this many vegetarian options, who needs meat?
Sandwiches are the ultimate convenience food: slap all your favourite ingredients between two slices of bread (or a tortilla, for ultimate portability) and go. Old favourites are getting grilled – which helps avoid the filling leaking all over the front of your shirt – but is also making sandwiches trendy again. Still, most of us eat sandwiches out of convenience. How can we use up that leftover meatloaf? Make a sandwich. Nothing in the fridge? Use what you do have to make a sandwich, or use non-perishables like peanut butter and jam. Just because sandwiches are convenient, however, does not mean they also can’t be gourmet. It has become increasingly common for restaurants to have at least one or two vegetarian options on their menu, ranging from veggie patty (like mushrooms, grains, and veggies) to Margherita-style smoked mozzarella and basil concoctions. Grilling the sandwich to warm the fillings and melt the cheese adds class and a special restaurant touch. At work or at home, these sandwiches leave the meaty deli cold cuts in the dust. For the adult taste buds that go beyond PB & J, here are the top five Vegetarian Sandwiches. All also offer vegan options. For another delicious vegan option, try Tofu "Egg" Salad. 1. Avocado Dream Ingredients:
2. Hummus HeavenIngredients:
Suggested bread: a lighter multigrain or toasted Italian; pita bread. 3. Smoked Wheat MeltMontreal Smoked Meat sandwiches are famous the world-round. They consist of spiced beef brisket on rye bread topped with mustard. Generally, they are served with coleslaw and a pickle. As this is obviously not a traditional smoked meat sandwich, so feel free to add cheese. It’s delicious. Ingredients:
4. Beyond PB & J: Almond Butter Instead of peanut, try a gourmet nut spread like almond butter or cashew butter. Because of their richness, top these spreads with a lighter, milder companion such as thinly-sliced Royal Gala apple, banana, or a light honey. Cut into tea sandwich-sized squares, if desired. Suggested bread: whole wheat or white. 5. Grilled tofu with Pesto Mayonnaise
Suggested bread: Baguette.
