Start by slicing the large tomato into thin slices, aiming for about 8 slices.
Lay out 4 slices of whole grain vegan bread on a clean workspace.
Take 2 tablespoons of vegan mayonnaise and spread evenly on each of the 4 bread slices.
Place 1 slice of vegan cheese on each of the bread slices.
Evenly distribute the tomato slices across two of the bread slices, layering them over the vegan cheese.
Add 4 basil leaves on top of the tomato slices on each of these bread slices.
Next, divide the handful of arugula between the two sandwich tops, placing it over the basil leaves.
Sprinkle a quarter teaspoon of salt and a quarter teaspoon of black pepper over the arugula on each sandwich top.
Top with the remaining bread slices, mayonnaise side down, to complete the sandwich.
Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the top of the sandwiches for an added depth of flavor and press down gently.
Serve immediately and enjoy your fresh vegan cheese and tomato sandwich!
