Vegan "Healthy Roll" Sandwich (Broodje Gezond)
A vibrant, generous take on the famous Dutch Broodje Gezond — freshly baked crusty baguette filled with layers of crisp lettuce, juicy tomato, creamy avocado, red onion, and dairy‑free cheese. Drizzled with a light zesty dressing and sprinkled with pepper for extra flavour. Fresh, crunchy, creamy, and beautifully balanced — a complete, satisfying meal that tastes as wonderful as it looks.

👩🍳 Instructions
- 1
Prep the bread: Slice the baguette lengthwise. Lightly toast the cut sides if you prefer extra crunch — this helps the bread stay firm and not soggy.
- 2
Make the spread: In a small bowl, whisk together vegan mayonnaise/cream cheese, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy. Spread generously over both cut sides of the baguette.

Layer the fillings: Start with a bed of crisp lettuce. Layer tomato slices, red onion rings, and vegan cheese slices in an overlapping pattern.

Add the avocado: Arrange avocado slices on top. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice — this prevents browning and brings out the flavour.

Season beautifully: Sprinkle generously with cracked mixed peppercorns and a pinch of salt. Add a few chilli flakes or pink peppercorns for colour and mild heat if you like.
