A veggie- and protein-packed vegan club sandwich is the perfect summer lunch or dinner! The homemade tofu deli meat is easy to make and full of flavor.

Ingredients

  • 14 ounces extra firm or super firm tofu (pressed and sliced into 1/8 inch or thinner slices)
  • 1 teaspoon ketchup
  • a few drops of liquid smoke (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vegan Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced bell peppers, (I use a mix of red and green)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
  • half of a cucumber (thinly sliced or use zucchini)
  • a few fresh leaves of lettuce
  • 1 tomato (thinly sliced, as needed)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 4 slices sandwich bread ( or sourdough bread)
  • 3 tablespoons vegan mayo
  • vegan cheese slices (, optional )

Directions

  1. 1

    Press and slice the tofu, if you haven't already, drizzle a teaspoon of oil in baking dish that will fit the tofu or line the baking dish with parchment paper. Place the slices in the baking dish, almost touching each other.

  2. 2

    Wash and thinly slice the vegetables, as needed. Toast up your bread or sourdough, with or without vegan butter. Toasting is optional

  3. 3

    Now it's time to layer. Spread a good layer of mayo onto your bread slices. Add the cheese if using. Add half of the lettuce, peppers, onions, cucumber, and tomato onto the bread in whichever order that you like. Add a good layer of the tofu deli slices, then layer on the remaining veggies. Drizzle some of the vinaigrette over the fresh veggies. (You can also toss the veggies with the vinaigrette in a bowl and then layer them). Sprinkle some additional black pepper if you like, then top it with another bread slice.
