Day 135 -- My Summer Sandwich Generator

As I was searching for tasty vegan sandwiches, I came across this Holiday Finger Food Generator, published a few years ago in the New York Times Magazine.  I thought it was pretty clever and realized that it could do the same type of thing for vegan sandwiches.  You don't have to choose from every column.  But this will help me come up with new combinations


Column A - The Bread
Whole grain bread
Whole grain wraps or tortillas
Whole grain crackers

Column B - The Spread
Hummus
Vegan Cream Cheese
Vegan Sour Cream
Pesto
White Bean Paste
Roasted Garlic
Fat-Free Italian Dressing

Column C - The Veggies
Avocado
Red Peppers (roasted or raw)
Tomatoes (roasted or raw)
Cauliflower (roasted)
Vidalia Onions (roasted)
Carrots (shredded if raw)
Beets, Rutabaga, Parsnips (roasted only)

Column D -- The Crunch
Lettuce or herb mix
Baby Spinach
Kale
Sliced cucumbers
Brocolli slaw
Sprouts

Column E -- The Punch
Greek Olives
Pickles
Kimchi
Capers
Jalapenos

Of course, you can add some marinated tofu or some seeds or nuts, but more than five columns made this a little clumsy.  So, I'd like to have a Roasted Tomato and Hummus Sandwich on Whole Grain Bread with Sprouts and Greek Olives.  It works!!!!
