Grilled Veggie Sandwiches & Vegan Potato Salad
July 11, 2006 at 8:33 pm (Uncategorized)
On the menu for tonight was grilled veggie sandwiches, vegan potato salad, cantelope and chocolate pudding for dessert.
The veggie sandwiches contain: grilled summer squash, grilled onions, grilled peppers, roasted red peppers, veganaise, and stone ground mustard. I stacked the veggies on my absolute favorite bread–French Meadow Bakery Flax & Sunflower Seed. This bread is delicious, organic, and has 4 grams of protein per slice!
The salad is Vegan Planet’s “Close to Mom’s Potato Salad”. See a link to Vegan Planet in the previous post. I have never made potato salad before, let alone vegan potato salad and I must say–it was AWESOME! So fresh and definitely picnic-worthy!
I picked up the cantaloupe today (no pic) and it was perfectly ripe and sweet. I do think cantaloupe is my favorite fruit. Yum.
The chocolate pudding is good ‘ol Mori-Nu Mates Pudding Mix.

Check that pudding out!
I always keep packets of those pudding mixes in my pantry, and I’ve used them for different things but not like yours. Thanks for the inspiration!

I wish I could order up that sandwich and salad right this very minute - I’m hungry, there’s nothing in the house and I don’t feel like going out… sigh. It looks great Julie

thnx, kleo! The pudding is soo great!
kai- I must say, I learned about the Mori-Nu Tofu Mates from you!! I saw it on your MM and found it at my local HFS (thnx to Leslie).
Les- thnx! The bright pink was making me a little sick-hehe.
jess- The pudding is yummy. I have only had the chocolate flavor, though. I might try the lemon tonight.
nancy-What a compliment (coming from you)! I know what you mean–I have just recently gotten the energy to start whipping things up–however, I still keep it really simple!
urban vegan-thnx! I agree.

Grilled veggies are the best! Make everything taste a little gourmet, and your sandwiches look great.
I have always been a fan of the mori-nu pudding mates, and recently I haven’t been able to find them at our stores anymore. I may have to order them online, because I have tried other pudding mixes and they do not come close to the texture/taste of the mori-nu ones - plus they are super easy to make!! Time to go hunt again.

Dreena- I couldn’t find them for the longest time either! Sometimes they tuck them away in the same isle as the chcolate chips.
