Vegan Tempeh BLAT

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices whole grain bread (I use Dave's Killer Bread, use gluten-free if you wish)
  • 1 tablespoon vegan mayo (I use Vegenaise), or enough to lightly coat both slices of bread
  • 1/2 medium avocado, sliced
  • 4 strips tempeh bacon (I use Lightlife Smokey Tempeh Strips—Smart Bacon works too)
  • 3 thick slices vine tomato
  • 2 leaves romaine hearts, or enough to cover sandwich
  • Pink sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • *Optional* Toast bread.
  • Lightly coat both slices of bread (one side) with vegan mayo.
  • Arrange the avocado slices on one slice of bread, mayo side up.
  • *Optional* Heat the tempeh strips in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot and lightly crispy on both sides. If using Smart Bacon, lightly fry in olive oil until crispy. I do not recommend using cold Smart Bacon.
  • Slice the tempeh strips in half (to shorten), then cover the avocado with the strips, overlapping the tempeh if necessary.
  • Top the tempeh with the tomato slices, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover the seasoned tomatoes with lettuce, then complete your sandwich with the top slice of bread, mayo side down, of course.
