Tomato and Garlic Vegetarian Sandwich Meat by Very Vegan Val
You can make a really amazing vegetable sandwich- try hummus, topped with cucumbers, tomatoes, sprouts, onions, and avocado- but sometimes I like to change it up with some vegetarian sandwich meatseitan sandwich slices. And since the grocery store varieties are a little hard on the wallet, I like making my own- that way instead of making a sandwich with one measly seitan slice, I can make myself a vegan-meat packed sammie worthy of a NYC deli. These slices are filled with savory goodness, and really pack a punch of garlic and tomato flavor. It only takes 10 ingredients to make these vegan deli slices, so get your food processor ready and lets get seitan making!

Vegan Tuna Salad Made with Jackfruit by Very Vegan Val
This vegan tuna salad (jackfruit tuna salad) is the tuna salad of my childhood- but not only is it dolphin safe, it’s tuna safe! It is perfectly delicious- the tuna texture is courtesy of the jackfruit (not chickpeas, which don’t quite do it for me), and a little bit of oceany-something comes from seaweed. It’s a perfect lunch atop a bed of fresh greens, or between two slices of crusty bread. My go-to picnic food, it’s a crowd pleaser and easily customized to meet all of your tuna salad expectations.
