Vegetarian Club Sandwich
Updated: May 20, 2024, By Swasthi
This rainbow vegetarian club sandwich is easy to make for a quick meal. Stacked with layers of sautéed veggies, pan fried potatoes and fresh veggies, these amazing sandwiches are delicious. They also have a spread of mayo which can be replaced with cream cheese or cashew cream.
A classic club sandwich has layers of bread with sliced cooked meat, lettuce, vegetables and mayonnaise. This vegetarian version substitutes meat with slices of boiled and pan-fried potatoes. But you can also use tofu, paneer, soya chap or tempeh. Since I had only potatoes I used them here.
We love eating plenty of stir fried veggies in this so I make a healthy stir fry using cabbage, onions, bell peppers and carrots. If you want to save time prepping up the veggies, you may simply use ready to use coleslaw mix. Alternately you may use any veggies of your choice like – broccoli, peas, sweet corn, spinach or even avocado.
The recipe is easily adaptable and you can use eggless mayo, cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt for the spread. This helps the fillings stay in place and also adds some creaminess. I prefer to season with just black pepper and salt but you may use any of your preferred seasonings or sauce. These sandwiches are also kids’ friendly and go well in the school and office boxes.
