It's really easy to make vegan sandwiches, but at the beginning I didn't know how to make them because I used to add cheese and other non-vegan foods. Today I want to show you my favorite vegan sandwich, it's made with three ingredients I really love: vegan pesto, hummus and avocado. If you like them, you really NEED to try this recipe, it's amazing!
If you prefer to keep things simple, omit the homemade pesto and add some nutritional yeast and garlic powder instead and your sandwich will be awesome as well.

This is delicious and I make them almost every day.
Just change some of the vegetables.

That's a good idea! 🙂

Tip: you also can do the pesto without nutritional yeast - I never use it - and if you have leftover freeze in small portions - taw overnight in fridge.

I've eliminated oil from my diet -- what can I replace oil with in the pesto? This looks like a terrific sandwich!
Iosune says
Hi Charlene! You could use some nut butter, avocado, lemon juice or water 🙂 I hope you enjoy the sandwich!

Is nutritional yeast available in Barcelona Spain?
Iosune says
Hi Carolyn! It is, you can find it in many health food stores 🙂 Ask for "levadura nutricional" if you speak Spanish.
