This Vegan Veggie Sandwich is a scrumptious, 10-ingredient, vegan sandwich with multigrain bread, hummus, avocado, a ton of fresh produce, and pumpkin seeds. This carnivore-approved recipe proves that you don't need faux meat products to enjoy a vegan, vegetarian sandwich.
The Vegan Veggie Sandwich
You don't have to use meat substitutes to make a killer, vegan veggie sandwich. In fact, I think faux meat products are often what take carnivores down the wrong path of the vegan diet. I'll take fresh produce over a meat substitute any day of the week.
It's a money-saver too because everyday ingredients can be used in multiple ways, with other recipes. Yeah, we like that!
What do you put on a vegan sandwich?
1. Bread - A nutritious, whole grain bread should be the foundation of any amazing vegan sandwich.
2. Spread - Hummus is my favorite spread for any vegan sandwich. But I have some vegan salad dressing recipes waiting to be published. Coming soon!
3. Produce - Fresh, everyday, vegetables and fruit. Yep, I said fruit. Check out my recipe below to see my favorite fruit for veggie sandwiches.
4. Toppings - my favorite part of any sandwich are the accouterments, such as nuts/seeds, seasonings, and olive oil or flax oil. The toppings should add nutritional value, flavor, and texture to your veggie sandwich.

Great sandwich, quick pickled the onions to add another flavor to the mix. Will make again.
