"Good Friday being a strict day of fasting and consuming of vegan food only, this BLT-inspired sandwich came together easily and quickly. Mustard (any kind as long as it's dairy-free) can replace vegan mayonnaise if you prefer. As we were enjoying our new sandwich creation, Mr. Cookgirl suggested next time stirring in a little bit of Tabasco 'Chipotle" sauce to the mayo; or maybe substitute creamy horseradish...?"

This made a great supper! I used whole grain bread(but wished I had foccacia), regular mayo and made the smoky tempeh bacon. I used tomatoes and red leaf lettuce. The cilantro was a nice touch too. Thanks! Made for Vegetarian Swap March 2013.
