Tomato sandwiches are served at every southern party according to Paula Deen. While I know what she means, the only similar sandwich I can think of that I ate frequently at my church’s tea parties were cream cheese-triangle-crustless sandwiches. So to make this recipe my own, I decided to skip the dainty roma tomato and the biscuit cutter cut bread. I will just make one, regular person sized tomato sandwich.
Tomato Sandwich
Ingredients:
1/2 vine ripe tomato, thinly sliced
2 slices of vegan bread
1 tablespoon of mustard
1 teaspoon parsley
Directions:
Pat the excess moisture from the tomato slices.
Smear mustard across the bread slices.
With mustard said up, arrange tomato slices in an even layer. Sprinkle with parsley.
Top the sandwich with the other slice of bread, mustard side down.
And you are done. That was easy peezy. Now that I think about it, my grandmother used to make herself tomato sandwiches all the time, but with the overwhelming amount of mayonnaise she used; they almost made me cringe.

I love tomato sandwiches! My mom made them in the summers for me when I was growing up (she’s from South Carolina) and now I make them for my kids too. I make them with bread, vegan mayo, thick slices of ripe tomato, and a healthy sprinkle of salt and pepper. YUM. Nothing quite like it!
I’ve never tried it with mustard, but I’ll throw that in there next time thanks to you.
