Vegetarian Italian Hoagies
This unexpectedly basic sandwich is brimming with flavor thanks to the addition of peppery pepperoncini, artichoke cores, and red onion. Traditional Italian subs normally contain meat, but this sandwich ditches the meat in favor of artichoke centers and red onion. Both dinner and brunch are enhanced by its delectable flavor. If you want to prevent the bread from getting soggy while hoagies are being transported, you should disassemble the sandwich and only put it back together right before you eat it. Serve a tomato and cucumber salad as a complement to the main dish.
Cucumber Sandwich
This recipe for a light and airy cucumber sandwich strikes a wonderful balance between the richness of the ingredients and the sandwich’s inherent airiness. The refreshing crunch of the cucumber works well with the tangy creaminess of the yogurt spread, and the substantial flavor and texture of the whole-wheat bread lends solidity to the sandwich’s overall structure.
Caprese Sandwich
The flavorful qualities of this caprese sandwich come from the dense, crusty ciabatta as well as the fresh basil. The flavor is improved by the sun-dried tomatoes being used in the dish. When making a sandwich in preparation for a period of several hours, one can effectively prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy by using toasted bread and decorating the bread with a covering of basil leaves.
Crispy Cod Sandwich

Beef & Bean Sloppy Joes
This healthful take on the traditional comfort food reduces the amount of meat used in the meal by 7 grams in order to boost the fiber content by using beans instead of some of the meat. We made some adjustments to the original recipe for Sloppy Joes by cutting the amount of sugar and ketchup by a combined total of 12 grams of extra sugar.
Chickpea Salad Sandwich
This vegan chickpea salad sandwich is surprisingly delicious, and it has a lemony flavor and a vibrant flavor overall. It takes the tastes of a classic tuna salad sandwich—dill, lemon, and just a hint of garlic—and combines them with chickpeas, which offer a healthy fiber increase and a source of protein that is suitable for vegans. The celery adds a nice crunch to the dish.
Avocado Egg Salad Sandwiches
By exchanging the mayonnaise in a typical egg salad for velvety avocado, you may give the dish a feel that is more airy and light. To make a meal that can be quickly transported to and from work or school, simply assemble a sandwich out of toasted whole-wheat bread and the food of your choice.
White Bean & Avocado Sandwich
On a nutritious sandwich, which can be a time-efficient choice for either lunch or dinner, a spread made from white beans that have been mashed to a smooth consistency creates a protein-rich spread that is creamy and satiating. To add some diversity to the dish, try substituting canned lentils or black beans. This vegetarian sandwich recipe is also a fiber powerhouse, with 15 grams of fiber from whole-wheat bread, avocado, lentils, and greens. That’s more than half of the daily fiber need for most women, making it an excellent choice.
Avocado, Tomato & Chicken Sandwich

Portobello “Philly Cheese Steak” Sandwich
Cheese steaks are a Philadelphia institution that are made by frying thinly sliced sections of a nutrient-dense beef slab and then covering those slices with a thick cheese sauce. Cheese steaks are known for their high fat and calorie content. We were able to considerably cut back on the amount of oil while maintaining the original flavor. As an accompaniment, all that is required is either a glass of cold pinot noir or a glass of beer at room temperature.
Mushroom French Dip
The meaty portobello mushrooms that are used in these French dip sandwiches made without beef have the appropriate texture and amount of earthy, delightful taste to serve as a substitute for beef in French dip sandwiches.

Jackfruit Sloppy Joes
These meatless sloppy Joes are loaded with flavor thanks to the use of jackfruit in the recipe.

Jackfruit is a starchy tropical fruit.
