Ingredients
Sandwich Filling
- 1 cup beets (peeled and shredded)
- 1 cup carrots (peeled and shredded)
- 1/2 cup vegan mayo or vegan yogurt
- 1/4 cup dill pickles (chopped)
- 1 tbsp fresh dill (chopped)
- 1/2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 clove garlic (crushed)
- 1 green onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
Sandwich Base
- 6 slices sandwich bread
- Optional: Lettuce, sliced cucumber, baby spinach for additional fillings
Instructions
- Prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, mix together the vegan mayo or vegan yogurt, chopped dill pickles, fresh dill, Dijon mustard, crushed garlic, finely chopped green onion, and salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients into a creamy, flavorful sauce.
- Add the shredded vegetables: Add the shredded beets and shredded carrots to the sauce mixture. Gently fold them in until they are evenly coated with the sauce, creating a colorful and tangy beet and carrot filling.
- Toast the bread: Lightly grill or toast the sandwich bread slices. You can do this in a pan, toaster, or sandwich maker to give the bread a slight crunch and warmth that balances the filling.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place the beetroot and pickle filling on one slice of toasted bread. Add any additional fresh veggies like lettuce, cucumber slices, or baby spinach if desired. Top with another slice of bread to complete the sandwich.
- Serve and enjoy: Cut the sandwich in half if preferred and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and vibrant flavors combined in this easy, wholesome sandwich.
Notes
- You can substitute vegan mayo with regular mayo or Greek yogurt if not vegan.
- For more crunch, add thinly sliced celery or radishes into the filling.
- Try adding a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten up the flavor profile even more.
- The sandwich is best eaten fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day if covered.
- Experiment with different fresh herbs like parsley or chives for variation.
