if you are talking mayo spreads that would be easy

tofu mayo or sour cream

mayo basics

1 pack of mori nu tofu

1/4 cup lemon juice or split 2 tab water and 2 tab lemon juice

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt or less if you prefer.

puree till smooth and chill for a more mayo flavor add 2 tab olive oil slowly while blending to incorperate.

sour cream

leave out the onion powder and use like sour cream

garganzo sandwich spread

in food processor put

1 can drained garbanzos (gbo's)

1 tsp onion powder

2 tab tomato paste

1/2 tsp garlic powder

2 tab gbo juice from the can

2 tab peanut butter or nut butter of choice

4 drops lemon juice about 1 1/2 tsp I think

puree till smooth and chill it is ready to use and is wonderful.

                                    nutbutter bread spread / sauce

nut butter sauce use like a spread on bread or for a seasoning simular to bbq sauce

1/2 cup cashew or almond or peanut butter

1 tab paprika

4 tab soy sauce

4 tab water

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1 1/2 tsp salt I use smoked salt

puree till smooth and chill

this works for frying in dry fry iron pan and does not stick if you fry slowly. it works wonderful on homade gluten cut into strips like roast beef and fried or baked in the oven or most things you would use bbq sauce but prefer not to be hot flavored.

Here's a recipe in a cookbook that I have. It's a mock tuna salad, and it tastes great in a pita.



You need:

4 ounces baked tofu

1/2 cup reduced-fat vegan mayonnaise

1/4 cup finely chopped celery

1 dill pickle, finely chopped

1 pita pocket or 2 sliced whole wheat bread

1. In a small bowl, crumble tofu with your hands. Add the "mayo", celery, and pickle. Stir to combine thoroughly.

2. Scoop the filling into a pita pocket or spread it between the bread slices.  

Answer 7

Ooooh. I love sandwiches. I love pesto spreads-- I make them like this:

1 cup fresh basil (or parsley or dill or even spinach)

1/4 cup toasted pignoli (or walnuts or almonds)

1 large clove of garlic

2 tablespoons olive oil

salt and pepper

I put everything but the olive oil in the VitaMix and then stream in the olive oil. Then taste for salt.

Pesto can be layered with one of the great hummus recipes above, some roasted red peppers, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and just about anything else. I love it on a nice chewy/crustry bread!

Answer 8

Hummus is one of the best spreads that can be matched with several veggies to make a great sandwich.  With the abundance of cucumbers and tomatoes this time of year, I always put them on my hummus sandwich.  Hummus also keeps for a long time if you keep it in the fridge.  

I use the following recipe for hummus and like it because the garlic is not overbearing.  I do not like pimento, so I left it out of the recipe when I make the hummus.

1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1/4 cup tahini paste (sesame seed paste)

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 Tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, quartered

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/2 cup snipped parsley

1 2 ounce jar diced pimiento drained (1/4 cup)

Place all ingredients except the parsley and pimiento in a food processor.  Cover and process until smooth.  Stir in parsley and pimento, cover and chill 2 to 24 hours.  

Makes 1 2/3 cups or 5 servings

Answer 9

humus: a paste made of mashed, cooked garbanzo beans (you can buy them canned) with a bit of olive oil.  or you can buy it premade but it will have a bunch of preservatives and other crud in it.  

Answer 10

Hummus....you can buy it or make your own out of Garbanzo beans (chickpeas)...just blend a can with some fresh garlic, olive oil, green pepper (or other veggie) and lemon juice.  

I also smash up an avocado and spread it on my sandwich.  I love avocado and it is so good for you!!!
