A SandWISH to make your middle-of-the-day-dreams of healthy-yet-hearty munching come true.
What you’ll need:
2 slices of bread (preferably a vegan, sprouted loaf, but those are hard to come by)
2 thinly sliced strips of zucchini, lengthwise (about the thickness of half your pinky nail – that’s the only way I know how to describe it, I’m horrible with measurements)
1 teaspoon dried oregano, sage, & parsley
1 fresh n small tomato – thinly sliced
Vegenaise – It’s “mayo” for vegans – tastes better and IS way better for you – get the no-soy kind 😉
Sprouts – pea sprouts, sunflower sprouts, alfalfa sprouts – anything will do!
A few onion “rings” (I prefer red)
8 leaves spinach
What to do:
Heat up a frying pan on medium heat, with a splash of water in it (just a splash, like a split second under the faucet kind of splash). Lay the zucchini strips down in the pan and sprinkle on the oregano, sage & parsley and dash with some salt and pepper. Cover and let the heat wilt the zucchini for about 2 minutes, then flip the zucchini strips over (kind of how you would if you were making pig-bacon).
————> While that’s going on, toast your bread lightly, and when it pops up lay a THIN layer of Vegenaise on one side. Layer down the spinach, tomatoes, onion, then the sprouts. Once the zucchini strips have begun to brown, take then out and plop them onto the loaded slice of bread atop the other yummy veg. Other slice-o-bread goes on the tippity top, then slice it however which way you like it- we all have a favourite sandwich cut.
******** Pair with lotsa water and a fruit, and something crunchy! (Here I used cassava chips because, oddly enough I wasn’t in a kale-chip kind of mood.) I’ve done this with a side of carrot and celery sticks, too. It’s all yummy – be cre8ive! ********
Here’s the brand of Cassava Chip I use:
