Legend has it that the club sandwich was invented around 1894 at the exclusive Saratoga Club-House and it became a national food trend – the cloud bread of its day – after being served at the 1904 World’s Fair. Multi-layer club sandwiches have been a staple of catering trays and hotel room service menus pretty much ever since. These multi-meat, mayonnaise-swiped bites aren’t exactly veggie-friendly, so we’ve whipped up our own vegan club sandwich recipe for you here.
This take is a bit lighter than the triple-decker original and handful of arugula adds a pleasant freshness. Use your favorite packaged faux-meats or experiment with tempeh and tofu if you prefer something that doesn’t resemble deli slices.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan dressing/sandwich spread, such as Follow Your Heart Vegenaise

Preparation
1. Combine sandwich spread and arugula in medium bowl. Spread on 4 slices toasted bread.
