Warm "bacon" contrasts nicely with crisp lettuce and ripe tomato, and makes a delicious, nutritious vegan sandwich.
Yield: 1 sandwich
Time: 5 minutes
Tools
- medium frying pan
- tongs
- knife
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (preferably whole grain)
- 1-2 t oil
- 3-4 slices vegan bacon*
- mayonnaise or aïoli
- 2 leaves of lettuce (or more, depending on size)
- 2-3 slices tomato
Directions
Optional: toast bread.
Heat oil over medium heat, add bacon, and fry until golden and crisp. Turn and fry other side.
Meanwhile, spread mayonnaise on one slice of bread/toast.
Arrange lettuce, tomato, and bacon, cutting to fit, if necessary.
Top with other slice of bread, cut in half, and serve immediately.
Notes
* Whenever possible, I make my own tofu bacon. Otherwise, I use thinly sliced smoked tofu (shown).
This simple sandwich is packed with good nutrition: whole grain, vegetables, and excellent vegetarian protein.
I often add a bit of red onion and avocado for a more substantial sandwich.
