I am so excited to share a video with you today!! Instead of a BLT we are having THAT sandwich – tempeh // hummus // avocado // tomato. Yum yum! Here’s how I made it:
This sandwich idea came about after a friend recommended the bacon-flavored tempeh strips. I turned it into a cute little BLT-inspired sandwich on a roll with hummus and avocado. Dare I say this tasted better than real bacon? It might have… and it is much healthier too. The jalapeno hummus added a kick and an extra layer of flavor.
Hope it inspires some happy eating for your lunch!
Thanks so much to my friend Max for helping shoot and edit this video!!

I LOVE the video – that was a lot of fun.
I’m still not sure about tempeh. I know a lot of people like it but I can’t stick that toe in the water. I’m the same way about tofu and seitan as well. Oh, and spinach in my smoothies. 🙂 Maybe one day!!

How fun that you did a video! I didn’t know you could buy tempeh bacon…I always marinate and make my own. I’m going to be on the search for it now. Appreciate the simplicity of the salad too.

That does look good, and good for you too!
Could I please put in a plea for people not to cut rolls ‘into’ the palms of their hands – put them on their sides on a board and cut down onto the surface (that’s why the Bagel Biter was invented for the equivalent issue with those!) for safety (cf. avocados!).

SUCH a cute video! Man, that sandwich looks amazing plus the smoky salad sounds like the perfect pairing. Great job!
Liz @ I Heart Vegetables says
Yum!! I love tempeh-bacon but I’ve never made it into a BLT! Plus, hummus & avocado are way better than mayo, haha.
Amanda says
I’ve actually never tried tempeh. This made me curious for sure!
Dani @ Dani California Cooks says
Love this!! I’m always looking for new uses for tempeh.
Linda @ The Fitty says
I’d add bacon to this sandwich, being the meat lover that i am!
Kate says
Yummy looking sandwich! I have to say though… You scared the bejeezus out of me slicing the roll and the avocado into your hand. Always lay them down on a cutting board – don’t risk severing a tendon!
Mom says
Great video!
