We're opening a restaurant and want to have at least one completely vegetarian item on our menu. I know vegetarians have a hard time dining out because most places offer very little, if any, vegetarian sandwiches. We want something delicious and flavorful!What is the most delicious vegetarian sandwich?
This is my favorite...all vegan yet it tastes eerily close to tuna salad:
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
2 slices whole wheat bread
chickpeas
mustard
soy mayonnaise
pickle relish
lettuce, optional- i like the spring greens mix
tomato slices, optional
fresh ground pepper
Directions:
When I became vegetarian, i missed the weirdest things, and one of those things was chicken and tuna salad sandwiches. This is a good substitute, because with the mustard, mayonnaise, and relish, you can hardly tell what the main ingredient is anyway. Non-vegetarians will like it too!
Put the chickpeas, mustard, mayonnaise, and pickle relish (or whatever you would typically make meat salads with) in a bowl and mash with a fork into a lumpy consistency (should have texture, not smooth like hummous). Put cheese on one slice of vegan bread spoon chickpea salad over it. Top with lettuce and tomato slices and add pepper to taste. Put other slice of bread on top to close sandwich and slice in half from corner to corner. Yummy... enjoy!

I'm a vegetarian, and I'm always disappointed at veggie burgers at restaurants that don't specialize in vegetarian food. It's like they buy pre-made patties somewhere. The burger is something everyone can relate to, and a good veggie burger can, more than any vegetarian food, persuade meat lovers to give veggies - and maybe someday vegetarianism - a try, and can put a big smile on most vegetarians' faces. So, in my opinion, find a good recipe on the Internet, or from a cookbook, or from somewhere, for veggie burgers. Find several recipes perhaps, try them out, then choose one. Serve them with or without cheese; many vegetarians eat dairy. Serve your veggie burger with the same flare as you do your meat burger. Sorry, I don't have recipe. I've lived in Asia for the last 10 years and eat/cook local food. Good luck with the restaurant!What is the most delicious vegetarian sandwich?
Vegan fried "fish" sandwich.
1/2 block of firm or extra firm tofu, cut into 1 cm slices,
2 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp ginger powder
1/2 tsp mustard powder*
1 tsp onion powder*
1 tsp miso paste (I used mellow white miso)
1 tsp lime or lemon juice
1 tsp of brown sugar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced* or 1 tsp garlic powder*
2 tsp flaked seaweed* (1 tsp for marinade, 1 tsp for flour)
olive oil
flour
soymilk, plain
panko breadcrumbs
First, steam the tofu slices for about 7-10 minutes.
While tofu is steaming, prepare marinade. Add 1 tsp. flaked seaweed to the marinade. Mix to form a paste then add olive oil until fairly liquid. Taste and adjust seasonings so it's not too salty or tangy.
Remove tofu from steamer, coat in marinade and leave for a few hours.
Heat a shallow amount of olive oil on medium heat in a saucepan while you do the following:
Get three bowls ready. Fill one with flour. Add the other tsp. of the seaweed to the flour and mix to combine. Fill the next bowl with about 1/2 cup soymilk. Fill the last bowl with panko. Dip tofu slices into flour, then soymilk, then finally in crumbs, making sure each side is completely covered.
Gently pan fry tofu until browned on both sides. Serve hot.
Note: To make flaked seaweed, I took a nori sheet and pulverized it in the blender!
Easy Tartar Sauce
1/2 cup Vegenaise or any brand vegan mayo
2 tsp sweet relish
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 squirts of lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and chill for a while.
A great vegetarian sandwich is:
Roasted Capscium

I have to agree on that Chickpea Salad Sandwich. It is phenomenal! I also like a simple Crunchy Vegetable Wrap:
4 Tbsp. Tofutti cream cheese, your favorite flavor (or any nondairy cream cheese)
4 10-inch flour tortillas
1 cup shredded spinach
1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts
1/2 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup sliced avocado
1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup diced cucumbers
2 Tbsp. finely diced red onion
Salt and pepper, to taste
鈥?Spread one tablespoon of cream cheese over each tortilla. Sprinkle an even amount of the remaining ingredients on each wrap; roll up.
It's yummy :D
"B"LT- make a BLT but with fake bacon and also offer a choice of vegan mayonnaise and cheese
Smart Deli Sandwiches- Smart Deli brand lunch foe meat is good its just a classic lunch meat sandwich. It comes in turkey and ham I think there may be more but I'm not sure.
Field Roast Sandwich- Field roast is a great vegan sausage I would recommend the Apple Sage. Put 2 sausages on bread (rye is good with this) then some sauerkraut and what ever topping you want.
Amy's Burgers- Amy's burgers are a great vegan hamburger. Just put it between a toasted buns and any toppings you want and your good to go!
Smart Deli Bar BQ sandwiches- Smart Deli's Shredded bar B Q is great on a sandwich

Here's a few of my favorites:
-Falafel with baby spinach, tomato, cucumbers, feta cheese and tzatziki sauce in a pita pocket
-Spinach, roasted red peppers, hummus, tomatoes, sprouts, cucumbers, and sharp cheddar cheese, with some olive oil and vinegar on whole grain bread
-peanut butter and jelly (simple, but so good) you can jazz this up with natural peanut butter and small batch gourmet jams, maybe throw some banana slices and/or honey on there, too

This is my all time favorite. It is very easy to prepare and even my meat eating boyfriend asks for me to make this one over and over, not to mention he doesn't like vegetables :P.
But all of the texture and garlic and flavor of this makes it really yummy, I put this one on a hamburger bun or potato bread. And personally I took out the jalapenos and onions, I use onion powder just bc I don't like raw onions or spicy foods.
I'm not too fond of sandwhiches myself, since I am a vegetarian and all. But, something that is good and I do like is meatless deli. Taste like meat and it is all natural but no meat its awesome
