From Bahn mi sandwiches to a classic grilled cheese, we are sharing 31 vegetarian sandwich ideas along with some unique and tasty wraps you’ll love!
I enjoy a sandwich or wrap at least a few times a week, but I get bored quickly (I think as food blogger, it’s inevitable that I want to try new flavors constantly). But I also appreciate simple and quick sandwiches because between running a business, working on my home, and keeping up with my pup I have limited time for eating sometimes. If you’re anything like me and also appreciate flavor and simplicity, then have I got some recipes for you!
I have complied 31 unique, delicious, and quick vegetarian sandwich ideas. This is a collection of my most beloved sandwiches and lunch ideas that have been with me through many busy period of life. And as with all my recipes, they are inspired by my experience as a nutritionist and world travels. Let me know what you’re favorite is!
What is a sandwich?
I thought I should define what a sandwich is because I’ve included recipes without the title of “sandwich”. According to Merriam Webster, a sandwich is defined as “two or more slices of bread or roll having a filling in between”.
So technically a burger and a Bahn Mi is a sandwich. But, I also believe (quite strongly) that wraps and gyros should also fall under this category. They are eaten the same way as a traditional sandwich, should have the same messy experience due to juicy fillings, and is usually made as a quick lunch, just like a sandwich! For this reason, you will find gyros, wraps, and pita pockets in this round up of 31 vegetarian sandwich recipes.
