HEALTHY LUNCH- Tofu Sandwich with Cucumbers

How's all my foodies doing? Are we trying to stay somewhat healthy, cooking and eating right? I'll tell you, the last two days, I jumped the healthy train and ate some pork. Not healthy pork dishes. But today is another day. I'll make me a good lunch with organic tofu, and some tasty cucumbers. And some other ingredients. No chips, no french fries. Just a healthy sandwich. So let's check out the ingredients.

INGREDIENTS Makes 1, just double the ingredients for 2.

2 pieces of all grain bread
------------------------------------
2 tbsp. of Vegenaise (vegan mayonnaise)
1 tsp. of stone grain mustard
Mix the Vegenaise and mustard.
-------------------------------------
2 leaves of lettuce

2 slices of tomato

2 slices of sweet round onion
---------------------------------------
2 slices of firm tofu cut about 1/4" thick or a little thicker

2 tbsp. of tamari soy sauce
1 tbsp. of water
2 tbsp. of lemon juice
1 tsp. of mock chicken powder
1 tsp. of brown sugar
1/4 tsp. minced ginger
1 tbsp. of minced green onion
In a small bowl, mix the tamari to the green onions. Then take the 2 tofu pieces and marinate it in the bowl for about 5 minutes.
---------------------------------------

1 medium cucumber sliced in haf, and sliced lengthwise into thin strips. (This is your french fries).
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. Vegenaise (vegan mayonnaise)
Mix the ketchup and Vegenaise. 
-----------------------------------------
DIRECTIONS

Take two slices of bread, and spread the Vegenaise and mustard mixture. Spread it on both pieces of bread. Layer all of the lettuce, tomamotes and onions on one side. 

Take the marinated tofu pieces and place it over the layered vegetables. Cover with other piece of bread. Plate it.

Take your cucumber slices, and drizzle the ketchup and Vegenaise mixture over the cucumber slices. Voila! You got yourself some fiberous lunch with protein.

This is one of my favorite vegan mayonnaise on the market, it's probably the most tasty brands around. Zero cholesterol. No preservatives.
