INGREDIENT NOTES:
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD:
This is the core component for the sandwich. We use whole wheat bread slices because they have more fiber in them and give a nice shape to the overall sandwiches. Using white bread is also fine for this recipe.
TOFU:
When we cook tofu, it will become a bit crunchy and will provide a feeling of meat in the sandwich. You can also use mushrooms after grilling them in place of tofu.
OLIVE OIL:
Olive oil will help in cooking the tofu and making it a bit crunchy. Using avocado oil is also an option.
MUSTARD:
Using mustard in the sandwich will provide a nice flavor and tanginess. Tahini sauce will also work fine in its place.
VEGAN MAYONNAISE:
This will provide a classic sandwich feel and include a creamy element as well. You may also consider the use of vegan yogurt spread.
LETTUCE, TOMATO, CUCUMBER & AVOCADO:
All of the above products will provide crunchiness, a juicy element, a fresh feeling, and a creamy element, respectively. Other alternatives for these products can include spinach, red peppers (roasted), zucchini, or guacamole.

This product is optional to include in the sandwich. If you add it, it will give a cheesy taste to the snack as well as nutrition.
