Vegetarian Girl LOVES the “Veggie Delite” sandwich from Thundercloud Subs (a fairly famous Austin chain,) so I thought that I would try to create an “at home” version for her.
I used:
a whole wheat hamburger bun
thinly sliced cucumber
thinly sliced tomato
caramelized onions
sauteed mushrooms
She liked the sandwich, but said that it was a little bland and that she’d like to add some lettuce, pickle slices and chopped olives next time. So, not bad for a first stab, but we’ll know how to fix it next time.
Some other great possible additions or substitutions would be:
baby spinach leaves or your favorite kind of sprouts
avocado slices or a smear of mashed avocado (or even guacamole – yum!)
a spread of cream cheese or a slice of your favorite cheese (instead of the hummus)
grated carrot
