In this vegan version of a tuna salad sandwich, the savory chickpea filling gets extra tang from pickles, red onion, and capers. Mayonnaise is replaced by a creamy mixture of tahini and Dijon mustard to deliver crave-worthy flavor while diced celery and pickles give it a tasty crunch. Serve between two slices of your favorite whole wheat bread for a simple yet satisfying meal. The mixture will keep well covered in the refrigerator for 4-5 days, which makes it great for quick, weekday lunches!

Crispy bread, creamy pesto, and loads of warm, savory veggies—are you drooling yet? These superb sandwiches are the answer to all your mealtime woes. Yellow squash and spinach are sautéd with tangy red onions and sun-dried tomatoes to create the perfect plant-based panini filling. Make sure to whip up an extra large batch of the homemade white bean pesto (which gets a cheesy boost from nutritional yeast) so you can use leftovers as a pizza sauce or a dip for raw veggies. Press it all between two slices of whole wheat bread, and you have an excellent meal on your hands. Take it up a notch by adding a cup of tomato soup on the side!

Tip: If you don’t have a panini press, toast the sandwiches in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, turning once. Press sandwiches with a heavy skillet while they cook.

For more awesome vegan sandwich recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4 sandwiches
  • ½ cup fresh basil
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup canned no-salt-added cannellini beans, drained and liquid (aquafaba) reserved
  • 1 large yellow summer squash, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, sliced
  • ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (not oil-packed)
  • 4 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 8 slices whole grain bread

Instructions

  1. For pesto, in a food processor combine the first five ingredients (through cayenne pepper). Cover and pulse until smooth, gradually adding 2 to 3 tablespoons of the reserved aquafaba to reach desired consistency. In a small bowl combine beans and half of the pesto. Mash beans with a fork until mostly smooth.
  2. In a large skillet cook summer squash, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes over medium 3 to 4 minutes or until squash is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Stir in spinach just until wilted; remove from heat.
  3. Spread remaining pesto on four slices of bread and bean mixture on other four slices. Press vegetables into bean mixture. Top with pesto-spread slices of bread.
  4. Heat panini press to medium-high. Add a sandwich; cook 3 to 4 minutes or until bread is toasted. Serve immediately.

Bahn mi sandwiches originated in Vietnam and often contain layers of meat and egg-based mayonnaise, but this vegan version packs just as much flavor. Marinated veggies take the place of chicken or pork and our spicy white bean-based spread adds a delicious creamy element to each bite. The finishing touch is a drizzle of cashew-cilantro sauce to top everything with an extra kick of flavor. These knife-and-fork sandwiches are so loaded with delicious fillings that you need to hollow out some of the bread from the baguette to make room! Save the extra to make bread crumbs or croutons that you can use on salads and soups for meals later in the week.

Tip: For the sauce, soak cashews in enough very hot water to cover them for 15 minutes; drain and rinse before blending.

Yield: Makes 4 sandwiches
  • 1 medium zucchini, quartered lengthwise, seeded, and cut into matchsticks (1¾ cups)
  • 1 medium yellow squash, quartered lengthwise, seeded, and cut into matchsticks (1¾ cups)
  • 1 cup matchstick-cut carrots
  • 1 small red onion, quartered and sliced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced or matchstick-cut daikon radish
  • 1 fresh jalapeño chile, seeded and thinly sliced
  • ⅓ cup brown rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon pure cane sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½ 15-oz. cans no-salt-added Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained (2 ¼ cups)
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 12-oz. whole grain baguette, split and partially hollowed out
  • ⅓ cup soaked raw cashews, well drained
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • ⅓ to ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl combine the first six ingredients (through jalapeño). In a small saucepan combine vinegar, sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons water. Bring just to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Pour vinegar mixture over vegetables; let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. In a food processor combine beans, half of the cilantro, the sriracha, ginger, garlic, and 2 tablespoons water. Pulse until smooth. Spread in baguette halves. Cut baguette halves in half crosswise. Drain vegetables. Top baguette pieces with vegetable mixture.
  3. In a small food processor combine cashews and lime juice. Process until smooth, gradually adding enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over sandwiches. Top sandwiches with remaining cilantro.

When tomato season is at its peak, pick out the juiciest ones you can find in both red and yellow shades to make these eye-catching vegan BLTAs. Creamy avocado slices, smoky carrot “bacon,” and a zesty chickpea-based spread add tons of flavor and texture that will banish any thoughts that sandwiches are boring. The key to an extra delicious BLTA? Toasting the bread just before stacking it all together. The warm, crispy bread perfectly complements the cool and creamy fillings so each bite takes you to sandwich heaven.

Tip: To save time, you can make the carrot bacon in advance and store in an air-tight container in the fridge. Additionally, you can use store-bought hummus in place of the Zesty Sandwich Spread. Feel free to stir in curry powder and cayenne to the hummus for more flavor, or just keep it simple and slather it straight onto the bread.

Yield: Makes 4 sandwiches
  • ¼ cup coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoons orange juice
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 large carrots, cut lengthwise into thin strips (about ⅛ inch thick)
  • 8 slices 100% whole wheat bread, toasted
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added chickpeas, liquid (aquafaba) drained and reserved
  • 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • ½ teaspoon curry powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons sliced scallion
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 leaves romaine lettuce
  • 1 red tomato, sliced
  • 1 yellow tomato, sliced
  • 1 medium avocado, halved, seeded, peeled, and sliced

Instructions

  1. For marinade, in a small bowl combine the first five ingredients (through paprika). Set a resealable plastic bag in a shallow dish. Place carrots in the bag. Add marinade; seal bag and turn to coat carrots. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Drain carrots, reserving marinade. Place carrots on prepared baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until carrots are lightly browned, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade. Cool on a wire rack.
  3. For Zesty Sandwich Spread, in a food processor combine chickpeas, 3 tablespoons of the aquafaba, nutritional yeast, tahini, lemon juice, dry mustard, curry powder, and cayenne pepper. Process until smooth. Stir in scallions and parsley. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Makes 1⅔ cups; store leftovers in airtight container in the fridge.
  4. Spread toast with Zesty Sandwich Spread. Add carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, and avocado. Serve immediately.

In this inventive twist on breakfast for dinner, a seasoned mix of shredded potatoes and rice flour transforms into tender-crisp waffles that are used as the base for sandwiches packed full of fresh veggies. The Herbed Tofu Cream spread comes together quickly in a food processor and adds a delicious zesty flavor that will have you licking your fingers after the last bite. 

Tip: If you want to shorten your shopping list for the Herbed Tofu Cream, omit the fresh thyme, oregano, and sage and use an additional 2 tablespoons each of scallions and chives.

Yield: Makes 4 waffle sandwiches
  • 1 12 oz. package soft silken tofu
  • ½ cup chopped scallions
  • ¼ cup fresh chives
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley
  • 5 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 2 small cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, coarsely grated (8 cups)
  • ½ cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • ½ cup unsweetened, unflavored plant milk, such as almond, soy, cashew, or rice
  • ¼ cup brown rice flour
  • ¼ cup flaxseed meal
  • 1 teaspoon regular or sodium-free baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
  • 4 to 8 leaves romaine lettuce
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. For Herbed Tofu Cream, in a food processor combine tofu, scallions, chives, parsley, 3 tablespoons of the lemon juice, thyme, oregano, sage, and garlic. Process until smooth. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.
  2. Preheat waffle maker according to manufacturer’s directions, using medium setting if available.
  3. Place grated potatoes in a fine-mesh sieve; rinse with cold water. Drain well. Return potatoes to the bowl. Add the next seven ingredients (through pepper) and the remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice. Mix well.
  4. To bake waffles, spoon ½ cup of the potato mixture into the waffle maker, spreading to 4 inches in diameter. Close lid; bake for 6 minutes. If the lid lifts easily after 6 minutes, the waffle is ready. If not, cook 30 seconds more. Using a wooden chopstick or silicone spatula, remove the waffle and place on a wire rack. (If desired, place in a 250°F oven to keep warm.) Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
  5. Spread Herbed Tofu Cream on four of the waffles. Top with sliced tomato, romaine, hot sauce (if desired), and the remaining four waffles.
