This quick, easy, and healthy veggie sandwich is sure to make everyone happy for lunch. Great recipe for taking to work or school, plus it's vegan!
If you had to pick the most iconic lunch, I could almost guarantee you that it would be a sandwich. Whether it’s hot, cold, fancy, or simple, for some reason we love sandwiches. Why do 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.
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.
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 4 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!
