Description

This vegetarian BLT is easy to make, full of smokey flavor, and completely meat-free! A tofu BLT that’s a little fancy with basil aioli,  pickled red onions, and sourdough bread!


Ingredients

Scale
  • Two slices of sourdough bread
  • 2 slices of vegan smoked provolone cheese – I used Violife cheese*optional
  • 4 slices of vegan tofu bacon
  • pickled red onions *optional
  •  1/4 cup  vegan mayo 
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 beefsteak or Roma tomato, sliced
  • 2 stalks iceberg lettuce, washed and patted dry 

Instructions

  1. First, make a batch of tofu bacon. The recipe is for one block of tofu so you will have leftovers! 
  2. Next, make your basil aioli by blending vegan mayo, fresh basil, and garlic in a small blender. This recipe will make extra mayo because it’s really hard to mix up just a tablespoon! You can store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks!
  3. Slice the sourdough bread and the tomato.
  4. Then wash the lettuce and pat dry. 
  5. Take one slice of sourdough and slather it with vegan basil aioli. Then layer on the tofu bacon, pickled red onions, lettuce, tomato, and vegan cheese.
  6. Top with another slice of sourdough bread and enjoy!

Notes

The pickled red onions are totally optional! Feel free to leave them off or swap them out for avocado!
