With these easy vegan sandwiches, there are so many options. They can be served not only on bread but also on whole wheat wraps or even in lettuce wraps. These are some of our very favorites!
I absolutely LOVE sandwiches, because they are layers of colorful healthy deliciousness! They are perfect for easy dinners that don’t require any cooking on busy or hot days. They’re also terrific for on-the-go lunches to take to work, school, or picnics.
What do you put on vegan sandwiches?
- Bread – A nutritious whole grain bread (or gluten-free) is the foundation of any sandwich. However, there is also the option to use wraps or even large green leaves like romaine or collard greens.
- Spread – Hummus is one of the very best spread options for a sandwich, in my opinion, and there are so many varieties to choose from. Check out my Hummus Recipes Page.
- Veggies – This list can be long or short, but some of my personal favorite veggies for sandwiches include lettuce, cucumbers, tomato, onion, carrots, bell peppers, bean sprouts, black olives, pickles, banana peppers, avocado, and so much more.
- Seasonings – These would include salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and dressings like the ones on my Dressings Page.
We sometimes stuff endive or other large lettuce leaves with spreads and serve as an appetizer. It’s a great option for those avoiding bread and gluten products.
Some other delicious additions are these vegan spreads Vegan Mayonnaise and Roasted Red Pepper Hummus.
