    The Ultimate Collection of Whole Food Plant-Based Vegan Sandwiches

    There’s nothing quite so simple or satisfying as a good sandwich. Whether it’s veggies piled high between slices of sprouted grain bread, a vegan cheeseburger or a collard greens wrap, this droolworthy collection of WFPB vegan sandwiches has something for everyone.

    How to make your vegan sandwich whole food plant-based compliant:

    • Make your own WFPB oil free mayo & other condiments. I've yet to find an oil free and egg free mayo at the store, but I have 2 mayo and 2 aioli recipes on the blog that are all WFPB compliant. You can use tofu for a low fat version, or there's also a version with cashews. Also, condiments like BBQ sauce and ketchup often include refined sugars, but it's easy to make your own.
    • Choose the right bread, wrap or bun. I like Food For Life's Ezekiel flourless sprouted bread. This company also makes oil free tortillas. Or skip the bread altogether and use a collard leaf like Renee from VEEG did!
    • Skip the oil. I chose recipes for this collection with no oil or where the oil can easily be eliminated.
    • Buy an oil free nut cheese or make your own. Treeline cheese and Kite Hill are good options. Or my Almond Ricotta recipe works great on sandwiches as a light, cheesy spread.

    WFPB / Vegan Veggie Sandwiches

    What to vegans eat on their sandwiches? Um, veggies! Sure, we might add a creamy element like hummus, nut cheese or a slather of vegan mayo. Because veggies need a little love sometimes, too.

    If you crave vegan egg/chicken/tuna salad sandwiches but want a break from chickpeas (I suppose it’s possible), look no further. These sandwiches leave the vegan mayo in, but feature some pretty darn creative chickpea alternatives.

    Ingredients

    • 2 slices whole grain bread (gluten free if desired)
    • ¼ cup pickled sweet red peppers store-bought or make your own, see notes
    • 2-3 tablespoons Oil-Free Jalapeno Hummus
    • 2 lettuce leaves
    • 2 slices tomato
    • 4 thin slices red onion
    • 6 thin slices cucumber
    • Optional: 1-2 tablespoons Almond Ricotta

    Oil-Free Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus

    • 1 15 ounce can chickpeas LIQUID RESERVED, drained and rinsed (or 1 ½ cup well cooked chickpeas)
    • 1-2 jalapenos seeded and chopped
    • ½ cup cilantro leaves chopped
    • ¼ cup mellow white miso
    • 2-3 cloves garlic
    • 2 tablespoons tahini or more, to taste
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice plus zest of ½ lemon
    • 2 teaspoons cumin
    • Optional: ⅛ cup pine nuts

    Pickled Sweet Red Peppers

    • 1 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers in water
    • ¼ cup rice vinegar sugar free
    • 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup or more, to taste
    • Pinch of salt

    Instructions

    To make the Oil-Free Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus

    • Place all of the ingredients in a food processor, and process until completely blended and creamy, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides. Thin with 1-2 tablespoons of reserved chickpea liquid ('aquafaba') as needed.

    To make the Pickled Sweet Red Peppers

    • Strain out all of the liquid from the jar. Whisk the vinegar and maple syrup together. Pour into the jar over peppers. Close lid tightly and shake well. Refrigerate at least one hour, or preferably over night.

    Notes

    • You may be able to find jarred sweet peppadew or other peppers in the store, but they often have added refined sugars. It's easy to make your own starting with jarred roasted red peppers. They won't taste as sweet, but I think they're great in this sandwich.

        Ha! It's breakfast time where I am right now, but I could really go for one of these sandwiches right about now. In fact, your bagel hummus sandwich would be just the thing! 🙂 Thanks for sharing it.
