Vegetarian Sandwiches Worth Writing Home About

You won't even miss the deli meat.

There's a common misconception that great sandwiches have to be loaded with meat. It's no one's fault really, it just so happens that some of our favorite sandwiches are meat forward. There's the club sandwich with double layers of meat. And then the Reuben that's loaded with corned beef. And let's not forget the BLT which gives bacon its proper glory. But we're here today to prove that great sandwiches can be vegetarian -- and they can be even better than the aforementioned sandwiches.

The great thing about vegetarian sandwiches is that every detail is considered. There's no slice of tomato thrown on top just because. No, if there's a tomato slice it's because that red fruit is the star of the sandwich. And then, there's all the cheese and hummus vegetarian sandwiches guarantee. Those two ingredients alone are enough to make any sandwich into something worth writing home about.

Seriously, who needs deli meat when you've got all that vegetarian goodness going on between two slices of bread? See for yourself.
