Start by washing the tomatoes thoroughly. Slice each tomato into 1/4-inch thick slices and set them aside.
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread on a clean surface.
Spread 1 tablespoon of vegan mayonnaise evenly on one side of each bread slice.
Place the fresh basil leaves on two of the bread slices, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Arrange the tomato slices in a single layer over the basil leaves, using half of the tomato slices for each bread piece.
Drizzle 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil over the tomato slices on each sandwich.
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and black pepper over the tomatoes to enhance their natural flavors.
Add a teaspoon of red wine vinegar to each sandwich by drizzling or lightly sprinkling it directly on the tomatoes for a slight tangy flavor.
Top each sandwich with the remaining mayo-covered bread slices, mayonnaise side down, pressing gently to adhere.
Cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors.
