Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 slices whole grain bread

Instructions
Start by preparing the vegan soft cheese. Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and rinse well.
In a blender, combine the soaked cashews, lemon juice, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add more water if needed to reach the desired consistency.
Taste the cheese and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed. Set aside.
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with a fork until smooth.
Season the mashed avocado with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Set aside.
Slice the tomato and cucumber thinly.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a generous layer of vegan soft cheese on two slices of whole grain bread.
Top the cheese with lettuce leaves, slices of tomato, and cucumber.
Spread the mashed avocado on the remaining two slices of bread and place on top of the vegetable layer to form sandwiches.
Serve the sandwiches immediately, optionally slicing them in half for easier eating.
