I am looking for recipes for vegetarian sandwiches other than PBJ and just plain cheese. I need vegetarian lunch ideas that do not have to be heated (no access to microwave) and are preferably easy to throw together in the morning. Any good recipes out there?

    Mozz cheese, tomato, and a litttle jarred pesto or basil leaves toasted like a grilled cheese, and tomato, avocado and onion are two of my favorites.

    not sure how much you like these veggies, but try a cucumber and tomato sandwhich with a little bit of hummus spread. Or you can prepare your lunches the night before and make eggplant, mushroom, onion wraps. Or my favorite, portabella mushrooms (cooked in lite soy sauce) with roasted peppers and mozz cheese topped with a little bit of balsamic.

    Hummus. You can buy it more cheaply as dehydrated in the natural foods store.

    Farther afield, use "last night's" split pea soup. It sets up in the frig, but keep it separate from the bread (or crackers) until lunch time.

    Fried tofu (plain or with soy sauce & spices).

    Egg salad.

    Cucumbers, shredded carrots, and hummus (regular or roasted red pepper). This is great on a wheat pita or wheat bread.

    Brie and a sliced tart apple (great on a firm crusty bread! delicious cold, but even better grilled).

    Tomato, basil, fresh mozzarella, with a little bit of seasoned olive oil.

    Take whatever you'd put in a salad that's yummy to you, throw it in a wrap or lavash.

    They also make vegetarian/vegan "deli meats"; not sure how good they are, but you could always go that route.

    Here are some veggie sandwiches I have made and enjoyed that aren't a PBJ:

    * PB and sliced bananas (I actually like this better than PBJ's). Also great with sunflower seed butter.
    * Hummus with sliced veggies (also great with reduced fat feta added to it).
    * Homemade egg salad (I make mine with hard boiled eggs, using 2 whites and 1 whole egg, black pepper, and spicy mustard all mashed up and mixed together). Tastes great, fills you up, and is healthy.

    There are other options as well, but these are the ones I can think of that are easy to take to work and can be eaten cold. I also love making my own grilled cheese sandwiches using various cheeses and toppings.

    Quick ideas:
    1. Hummus, shredded carrots, lettuce, and tomato
    2. Bean dip, salsa, shredded lettuce
    3. Tofu "egg" salad of mashed tofu, chopped onions, chopped celery, mustard, capers, etc.
    4. Avocado sushi - easy to make and stays fresh for a long time
    5. Tomato, lettuce, and avocado with salt, pepper, etc.
    6. left over beans, rice, salsa and other Mexican toppings in a tortilla wrap.

    Hope this helps!

    * pesto, avocado, cheese, artichoke and rocket sandwich (my favourite sandwich ever!), best on wholemeal artisan bread or sourdough

    * curried egg (egg, mayo & curry powder)

    * falafel and salad

    * marinated pan fried tofu with hot sauce and grated carrot (and variations thereof)

    Well I'm not a fan of cheese of peanut butter, I'm a vegetarian though and to tell you the truth I don't really stray from a variety of salad, I love lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, olives and gherkins, that is my all time favourite, other than that I just have egg.

    Yeah, there are also lot's of good fake meats out that are tasty, just have to be careful as some can be quite calorific.

    I take a whole wheat wrap and put lettuce, fresh bell peppers, roasted red peppers, sliced jalapenos, olives, along with some lite mayo & mustard.

    You can do the same on an Arnold Sandwich Thin as well.
