Club sandwiches were one of my favorites when I was growing up. This vegan version is outstanding! Be sure to make modifications as desired to "make it your own!"

DIRECTIONS
1. Make the “Maca Mayo with Hummus and sun-dried tomatoes” as directed and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, sauté the tempeh with the creole seasoning until is it brown and crispy on each side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. (Optional) – sauté the veggie bacon slices until they are crispy. Set aside.
5. Spread the Maca Mayo on the inside top and bottom slices of toasted bread, then layer the sandwich (bottom to top) as follows:
Romaine Lettuce – 2 halves
Tofurky slices (about 6 – 7) folded and arranged overlapping
Tomato
Red Onion
Tempeh
Bacon (optional)
Avocado
6. Assemble and then cut in half.
