Veggie sandwich ideas (for someone who doesn’t like cheese)

We’ve been gradually cutting down our meat intake. Started with meat free Mondays and now we rarely have meat for dinner or breakfast at all.

I’m struggling for veggie lunchtime sandwich ideas though?

Humous and red pepper

  • Grated carrot, humous and rocket
  • home-made coldslaw
  • curried egg and lettuce

I also make summer rolls which are vegan and gluten free. Sainsburys do a wrap kit, but I buy the wraps from a Chinese/Vietnamese grocery shop. They look complicated, but there are many youtube videos on how to roll them. I make a satay sauce with peanut butter, soy sauce and sesame oil and they are delicious!

Thanks. We’ve been having egg mayo and tomato or hummus and grated carrot but can’t think of anything else and DP is getting bored of those (as am I 😁). Would you put the marmite with something else?

Look at pret for ideas

Elouera · 30/05/2020 12:13

Wraps or mini-rolls are another idea instead of sandwiches.

sassafras123 · 30/05/2020 12:14

Marmite and cucumber or tomato. Delicious !

HauntedGoatFart · 30/05/2020 12:15

Houmous, avocado and tomato is amazing.

Houmous, falafel and roasted peppers. Basically, houmous and anything Grin you could also try grilled, marinated tofu slices or Quorn pieces.

HauntedGoatFart · 30/05/2020 12:15

Also I second the suggestion of wraps, or else pita pockets.

RickOShay · 30/05/2020 12:15

Some of the fake ham is nice.
I had fake meatballs for lunch. They would be nice in a sandwich with a bit of salad and mayonnaise.

PintOfGin · 30/05/2020 12:16

Onion humous, spread thickly on toasted wholemeal bread, with cherry tomatoes and watercress dressed with lemon and olive oil mixed with grated carrot
I'm not a vegan/veggie but I saw the recipe for this sandwich online a few years back and omg its life changing! Lol Grin

Lordfrontpaw · 30/05/2020 12:16

Banana and honey on granary
Cream cheese with chopped gherkins
Felafels and chillis
Tomato - you can’t beat a lovely plain tomato sandwich.

How can you not like cheese?

PuppyMonkey · 30/05/2020 12:16

The Quorn fake ham and chicken are Perfectly nice if you like that sort of thing. Also Linda McCartney sausages and mozzarella burgers.

Pelleas · 30/05/2020 12:17

Onion bhajis are lovely in a sandwich.

Lordfrontpaw · 30/05/2020 12:18

Get the veggie bit the vegan version. The recipe has changed and isn’t as nice but I like the fake bacon or the one with herbs (Turkey and stuffing?). Some soya burgers and nice in a sandwich.

sahbear · 30/05/2020 12:19

This may not be what your looking for, but Tofurkey is really good in sandwiches.
DS1 likes avocado and Tofurkey.
I have mango chutney, salad and Tofurkey.
Also Baba Ghanoush (look with the fresh dips) or houmous with salad and tomatoes.

InfiniteSheldon · 30/05/2020 12:21

I use leftover potatoes to make twice baked jackets or potatoe salad with Quorn cocktail sausages or cheese cubes. Sick of cheese sandwiches Grin

TazSyd · 30/05/2020 12:22

Onion bhajis sound good, perhaps in a pitta with some chutney.

Thanks for the ideas, we’ll get testing 😀.

Marmite & tomato sandwiches are lovely! As are fried egg & marmite.

Peanut butter & banana
Egg mayo or egg salad
Hummus & grated carrot or cucumber
Philadelphia & cucumber
Quorn fillet & salad
Smoked tofu & tomato
Mushroom/vegetable pate

MarmiteyCrumpets · 30/05/2020 12:23

PB with banana, pumpkin seeds and raisins or cranberries

Chickpea salad - slightly crush with mayo, mustard and chopped celery, pickles, onions, peppers or whatever takes your fancy

Veggie meatloaf (I make this from a bolognaise made with dehydrated soya mince) plus spinach, tomato, chutney and mayo

Tofu scramble with peppers, mushrooms, onions etc

5LeafPenguin · 30/05/2020 12:24

Thick sliced of raw mushroom with mayonnaise and salad.

TazSyd · 30/05/2020 12:25

While I’m here, could anyone recommend a good brand of veggie sausage please? As I am missing a sausage sandwich with brown sauce sometimes. Also a veggie version of chicken Kiev?

A recommendation from me is the Sainsbury’s Indian style lentil burgers (in the frozen section).

God, how could I have forgotten Baba ghanoush?! Fresh BG is the food of the gods if you can get hold of it or fancy making it.

TheGlaikitRambler · 30/05/2020 12:26

Grated carrot, hummus and raisins.
