Vegan Crab Cake Sandwich with Remoulade Sauce
If there is one thing I always crave, it’s a good vegan sandwich!! In my early vegan days I was enamored with the staple black bean burger. Today however, I carve the more innovative concepts as the options are endless with sandwiches and you can translate so many different cuisines into a vegan sandwich.
When it comes to any recipe, I love ones that pack tons of flavor, which is why I love this vegan Crab Cake Sandwich!! Anything that is seafood based naturally packs a lot of flavor. However, with the right herbs and spices you can easily replicate that flavor and create a fab dish.
One of my all time fave concepts is the vegan crab cake. That being said, I knew a Crab Cake Sandwich was a no brainer!!

It’s quick, easy, affordable, has a generous amount of ingredients, but all are staples, packs tons of veggies, tons of flavor, texture, perf for any season, can be made into mini crab cakes or sliders, making them perf for entertaining, and they can easily be made in bulk!!
