Begin by preparing your vegetables: slice the tomato and red onion thinly. Set them aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a creamy spread. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil on one side of each slice of the sourdough bread.
Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Once hot, place the bread slices oil-side down on the skillet and toast until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
Flip the bread slices and let the other side toast for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread the mayonnaise-mustard mixture evenly on the untoasted sides of the bread slices.
Layer the vegan mortadella slices on two slices of the toasted bread.
Add a handful of arugula, followed by the tomato and red onion slices on top of the mortadella.
Season the veggies with a pinch of salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor.
Close the sandwich with the remaining bread slices, cut in half if desired, and serve immediately.
