You may have seen my last 2 recipes, now I promised that I will soon combine them into a main meal, and here it is: a raw sandwich, that is simple to make and only requires the sun to dry out the crackers. Of course, if you’re not too bothered about it being 100% raw, you can just use the filling ingredients and use them with your favourite bread.

Serves: as many as you want

Equipment needed: blender, sunshine or dehydrator

Ingredients for the vegetarian sandwich:

For the bread / crackers:

• Please click here for the nut-free cracker recipe

For the sauce:

• Please click here for the dairy-free Thousand Island sauce recipe

For the vegetables:

• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Avocados
• Lettuce or other greens
• Spring garlic or onions
• Any sprouts of choice
• The above are all optional, that’s what I used in these photos, just use any of your favourite vegetables, e.g. carrots, peppers etc.

How to make the gluten-free sandwich:

• Prepare the crackers the night before as per the instructions here. Make them into any shape you like by cutting them carefully with a knife once they are dry.
• Prepare the Thousand Island sauce when you’re ready to assemble the sandwich as per the instructions here.
• Cut the vegetables you like into thin strips or small cubes and put them onto one of the crackers.
• Cover the vegetables with the sauce.
• Personally, I like my sandwiched open-faced, so I would eat it as it is, but you can also cover the whole thing with one more cracker to make it look like the photos.
• Enjoy right away, the sandwich won’t last long in it’s assembled state, but the sauce can survive in the fridge for up to 2 days, and the crackers will store in an airtight container for a month (theoretically they can last forever, but I find the taste changes after about a month).
