vegan sandwiches

A savory, cheesy Vegan “Tuna” Melt made with smashed chickpeas! The perfect quick lunch companion for soups and salads. Just 30 minutes and 9 ingredients required!

Easy Vegan “Tuna” Melt

Easy Vegan Cheddar Cheese ((or sub 4-8

mayonnaise

tsp dijon mustard

sea salt and black pepper

Tbsp finely chopped shallot ((or sub red onion))

Tbsp finely chopped dill pickles

bread

Tbsp vegan butter ((for buttering bread // we like Miyokos))

If you want to use the Easy Vegan Cheddar Cheese and haven’t already made it, start making it now. Then it’s sandwich time!

Thoroughly rinse and drain your chickpeas and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel to remove excess liquid. Place the chickpeas in a medium mixing bowl and use a potato masher or fork to mash them until no large pieces of chickpeas remain but before it becomes too smooth or pasty — you want some texture.

To the chickpeas, add the vegan mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper, shallot, and pickles, and mix thoroughly. Taste and adjust, adding more mayonnaise for creaminess, dijon for brightness, or black pepper for a kick.

Heat a medium cast iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat.

In the meantime, butter one side of each slice of bread. Once the skillet is hot, place a slice of bread butter side down in the pan, then carefully spread a semi-thick layer (3-4 Tbsp) of vegan cheddar cheese on the bread (or place a slice or two of cheese down if using store bought). Top the cheese with a heaping 1/3 cup of the vegan “tuna,” spreading it out evenly with a fork. Place another slice of bread, butter side up, on top of the “tuna.”

Cook the sandwich over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, peeking at the underside of the bread to see if it’s getting nicely toasty. Once the bottom slice of bread is golden, flip! Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are nice and golden brown and crispy and the cheese appears melty and gooey (covering the pan can help melt the cheese; lower the heat as needed if browning too quickly).

Repeat with remaining bread, cheese, and “tuna.” Then enjoy! These sandwiches pair beautifully with soup or salads.

Best when fresh. Chickpea “tuna” can be made ahead and stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Not freezer friendly.

These vegan sandwiches are made with tangy balsamic roasted beet slices and slathered in a creamy dairy-free cashew cheese.

Balsamic Roasted Beet Sandwiches with Creamy Dill Cashew Cheese

beets

balsamic vinegar

cashews

unflavored soy or almond milk

dill

sandwich bread (optionally toasted)

lettuce leaves

onion

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Lightly rub the outsides of the beets with olive oil, then set them on a sheet of aluminum foil. Wrap up the foil to cover the beets, and place the entire foil packet into the oven. Bake until the beets are easily pierced with a fork, about 1 hour. Remove the beets from the oven, open the foil, and allow them to to sit until they're cool enough to handle.

Once the beets are cool, rub the outsides to remove the skin. It should come off easily.

Cut the beets into thin (1/4 inch or less) slices and place them into a medium bowl. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Make the balsamic roasted beets:

Place the cashews, milk, lemon juice, and garlic into a blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Blend until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl or pitcher as needed. You can thin the mixture with some additional milk if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add in the dill and pulse until incorporated into the mixture.

Make the creamy dill cashew cheese:

Slather the bread slices with the creamy dill cashew cheese, then pair them up and stuff them with beet slices, onion slices, and lettuce. Serve.

Assemble the sandwiches:
