Vegetarian Sandwich Options

A vegetarian sandwich can be made with a wide array of fillings and condiments.
Excellent bread can be as important as the fillings - don't cut corners here, if possible.

Egg Salad
Only imagination (and taste) limits what you can mix in.

Benedictine
Mix cream cheese with diced cucumber and mild onion.
Especially elegant as a tea sandwich, in little crustless triangles.
(Health tip: Try a good low-fat cream cheese and more cucumber in the mix.)

Heirloom Tomato
Simply a juicy slab of tomato from your garden or farmers market, with mayonaise and salt. What could be simpler, or a better seasonal treat?

Tuscan Bean Dip
A great appetizer, this one serves as well as a savory sandwich spread.

Hummus
Another bean-based savory snack that layers well on bread with toppings like cucumber, tomato and lettuce.

Cheese with raw veggies
Pile on anything you like. Also known as the Garden Sandwich

Grilled vegetables with smoky gouda
Serve on focaccia bread, or as a panini.

Smoked tofu
The savory flavor and chewy texture makes an excellent substitute for lunchmeats.

Falafel in a pita, or flatbread wrap
With raita, chopped tomato, and shredded lettuce.

Caprese
Serve on a baguette or as a panini

Grilled portobello mushroom burger
Satifyingly savory, with a meaty texture.

If you eat seafood, these also count:

Tuna fish, garden style
Mix in shredded carrots, celery, cucumber, jicama - whatever crunch you like.

Salmon salad
No mercury risk, and lower in cholestrol than tuna.

Shrimp Po'Boy
A New Orleans treat, on a really great Italian roll.
