Ingredients

Grilled Zucchini

Avocado oil , for brushing the cast iron grill pan
½ medium zucchini , cut lengthwise into ¼-inch slices
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of black pepper

Mashed Avocado

½ avocado
Squeeze of lime juice
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of black pepper

Dijon Mayo

1 tbsp vegan mayo
1 tsp whole grain Dijon mustard
1 tsp lime juice

Other Ingredients

2 slices of whole wheat bread
Curly lettuce
8 slices of cooked Thai Green Curry Tempeh

Grill the Zucchini

Step 1
Brush a cast iron grill pan with avocado oil and heat on medium-low heat.
Step 2
Add the zucchini slices and cook until grill marks appear, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Flip and cook for another 5 minutes, or until grill marks appear. Transfer to a plate to cool and season with salt and pepper.

Mash the Avocado

Step 1
Add the avocado flesh to a small bowl and mash with a fork.
Step 2
Season with the lime juice, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

Prepare the Dijon Mayo

Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayo ingredients.

Assemble the Sandwich

Step 1
Divide the dijon mayo between the two slices of bread (I prefer keeping mine untoasted for this sandwich). Spread evenly.
Step 2
Top one of the slices of bread (mayo side up) with lettuce, then the mashed avocado, 8 pieces of tempeh, grilled zucchini, and finally the remaining slice of bread. Cut in half and enjoy.

Common Questions & Swaps

Feel free to use gluten free bread instead of whole wheat bread.
If you don't have avocado on hand, you can swap out the mashed avocado with a slice of tomato.
If you want to cut the prep time even more, simply use vegan mayo instead of preparing the Dijon Mayo suggested.
No cast iron grill pan? Grill your zucchini use any grill pan or a regular (non-grill) pan you have on hand.
