The world of vegan sandwiches is certainly not limited to a smear of hummus and a pile of cold veggies. Fry up some tempeh, bake a batch of falafel, or make an avocado-based dressing, and you'll realize there are about a million better things to put between bread than faux deli meat. Here are vegan sandwiches that make lunchtime the best time.
