4 Powerhouse Vegetarian Sandwiches To Amp Up Lunch

Building a vegetarian sandwich is beautifully simple, and the best ones are often made with what you already have at home. Leftover eggplant? Perfect in a baguette with dill, labneh and pickled red onions. Grilled veggies? Add some cheese and pesto. You can enjoy these sandwiches with soup or salad, but they also stand deliciously on their own.

Travelling in Rome made me fall in love with burrata, especially when it’s dressed simply with good olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper. I like adding roasted vine-ripened tomatoes and placing it all on a thick slice of crusty sourdough. Get the recipe for roasted tomato and burrata tartine.
