Eat a vegan grinder sandwich on a buttery toasted bun, layered with tomato, vegan deli meat, and cheese, all topped with a creamy, oniony, peppery, garlicky shredded lettuce slaw.
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Prep salad mix and tomatoes. Set tomatoes aside. Thinly slice onions, chop banana peppers. Mix mayo, vinegar, Italian seasoning, and garlic. Add onions, peppers, lettuce; toss. Refrigerate while preparing the sandwich.
2. Spread the softened vegan butter on the insides of each deli roll. Sprinkle the garlic powder onto the buttered surfaces. Place a piece of vegan cheese on each side of the roll, covering most of the surface areas. If you have a small deli roll then you will need one piece of cheese each for the top and the bottom. A large deli roll will require more.
3. Place the prepared deli rolls into the 425° oven for five minutes or until the butter is a little melty and the bread is slightly toasted. (Note: not all vegan cheese melts.)
