Vegan Reuben Sandwich

If you made my Seitan Gyro from last week you’re probably wondering what you’re going to do with the leftovers. Well, how about a Vegan Reuben Sandwich? Reuben’s have always been one of my favorite sandwiches. When it’s on the menu, I order it! Only when it’s vegan, of course.

What is a Reuben?

A classic Reuben has corned beef, swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and sauerkraut on rye bread. Making this vegan is quite simple! For this vegan Reuben Sandwich we will be using my seitan from the Gyro recipe, a vegan swiss or provolone cheese, a homemade Russian dressing using vegan mayo, and vegan sauerkraut.

What You Will Need For These Vegan Reuben Sandwich

Main Ingredients:

• Seitan
• Rye Bread
• Sauerkraut
• Vegan Cheese

Notes before we get started:

If you haven’t already, prep and bake seitan. This recipe needs to sit in the fridge overnight so plan accordingly. The recipe can be found HERE.

When choosing sauerkraut make sure you pick one with a vegan label. Some sauerkraut’s are pickled using lactic acid which you want to avoid.

This recipe makes 2 sandwiches but if you are serving more people just use the whole seitan loaf and double the amounts of sauerkraut, rye bread, and cheese slices. The recipe for the Russian Dressing is enough for 4 sandwiches.
