These vegetarian sandwiches have lots of Greek flavors and are so simple and delicious!
They are light on meat but definitely NOT light on taste!
These cold Greek sandwiches are a delicious lunch option for any occasion. They feel fancy thanks to the toasted bread and hummus spread but they’re actually super simple and easy to make. While most sandwiches are usually piled high in meats and cheeses I’m sure that once you try this Greek vegetarian sandwich that you will agree not every sandwich needs meat to be filling or taste good.
A Vegetarian Sandwich Recipe
I don’t mean to brag but this was one incredible meatless sandwich recipe and one that I continue to find myself indulging in. With the hummus and the Greek yogurt acting as a “glue” to hold the sandwich together and the pile of veggies tucked between each slice of toasted ciabatta bread, there’s nothing you won’t like. Even the Feta Tzatziki Mayo is on point and fabulous.

FAQs
How long is Tzatziki Sauce good for?
Your homemade Tzatziki sauce is going to be good for up to 4 days if kept stored in an airtight container in the fridge. this should give you plenty of time to use it up in new and creative ways or more time to enjoy more sandwiches.
Can I add meat to this sandwich?
Yes, if you truly wish to add meat to this sandwich I think that thinly sliced deli meats such as roast beef, black forest ham, or turkey could pair well with the flavors. Maybe even some salami.
What other breads work well with this sandwich?
I recommend making this sandwich with a harder and more firm bread such as ciabatta bread or even sour dough. This will help to hold up to the moisture of the spreads and give a nice textural change to the fillings inside.
