steps
step 1: prep
Let me tell you…you are going to want to put this vegan whipped feta on every sandwich from now on. It is super easy to make and adds so much flavor!
Add the feta, garlic, lemon juice, oil & a pinch of salt & pepper to a food processor. Blend until smooth and that’s it. You can play around with the seasonings until it is to your liking!
Other than that, all of you need to do is toast the bread and slice the tomatoes.

Now, we bring it all together.
Spread pesto on the bottom half of each sandwich roll. Top with tomato slices – sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add whipped feta to the top half of the rolls and place on top of the tomatoes.
These sandwiches are perfect. So many fresh flavors and ready in 15 minutes – doesn’t get better than that!
