How to Make a Proper Vegan Sandwich
This vegan coronation chickpea sandwich (The Simple Veganista) is a plant-based take on the chicken coronation sandwich, named in 1953 after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. This is a curried affair, which basically serves up Julie’s curried chickpeas with some salad in a sarnie. Yummy.
Whatever kind of sandwich you make, start with good bread and vegan butter without palm oil. Store in a silicone food box or reusable lunch box.
Read up on food safety for people and pets (to avoid choking hazard foods for children and toxic foods). Don’t feed leftovers to garden birds or wildfowl (due to salt, crusty/stale bread and fat, which smears on feathers, affecting waterproofing and insulation).
It’s best to just bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, shallots, chives) as like tomato/citrus/rhubarb scraps, acids could harm compost creatures.

Homemade Vegan Egg Salad Sandwiches
This ‘egg salad’ sandwich (The Simple Veganista) uses Julie’s homemade ‘egg salad’ as the base, combining with salad in good bread. Chickpeas are the star of the show here, combined with celery, red onions, pickles and vegan mayo.
Homemade Cucumber Sandwiches (proper English!)
Do you remember when these used to be a thing? Homemade Cucumber Sandwiches (Full of Plants) are simple to make, in this case made more tasty with vegan cream cheese and mayo, fresh herbs and salt/pepper to season. An ideal picnic treat – don’t cut the crusts off, they make your hair curl!
If you are going to remove the crusts, then to avoid food waste – use in a vegan bread and butter pudding.
Did you know that cucumbers can cure bad breath? Just place a slice on your tongue for 90 seconds. The phytochemicals can stimulate saliva (to avoid a dry mouth) and release anti-bacterial materials, to kill off halitosis!
