Vegan BLT (Better than Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich)

Who ever said vegans couldn’t enjoy a BLT? This Vegan BLT AKA Better Than Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich makes a filling lunch made with tangy and creamy avocado, fresh tomatoes, tempeh bacon, crispy lettuce and hearty bread.

Who agrees that you can’t go wrong with a good sandwich. Especially a sandwich with lots of avocado (Mashed Avocado > Mayonnaise). And based on your reactions on social media, you guys loveeeee a good sandwich. It occurred to me the other day while enjoying this sandwich for lunch that I haven’t shared a sandwich recipe with you in wayyy to0 long.

Some might say a Vegan BLT is an oxymoron but this Better Than Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato sandwich is savory, crunchy + creamy in all the right ways, salty and honestly guys makes the perfect lunch.

If you make this Vegan BLT at home, snap a photo and tag #CearasKitchen on Instagram or leave your feedback below.

And if you haven’t made vegan bacon at home yet, now’s the time to start. I use my Baked Tempeh Bacon recipe in this Vegan BLT.  We loooooooove tempeh bacon around here. It’s always a star on our family brunch table and it’s just about the best thing to snack on.

And as a plus, this Vegan BLT is super fun to assemble. ↓↓↓ Find the entire recipe under the step-by-step photos below.
