Vegan Greek Salad Sandwich ingredients

Sub rolls (or other bread of your choice) help hold in all the fresh, flavorful fillings. I like sourdough or Dutch crunch (my favorite!), but you can use whatever bread you have on hand. Pita, wraps, ciabatta, or sandwich bread would also work well.
Romaine lettuce adds volume, freshness, and a nice crunch to the sandwiches. Chop it finely so it mixes easily with the other ingredients.
Cucumber is a must for any Greek salad – it brings a refreshing crunch to balance things out.
Cherry tomatoes add sweetness, freshness, and a fun pop of color.
Kalamata olives and capers both bring a briny, salty flavor that gives these sandwiches their signature Greek-inspired taste.
Vegan chicken bumps up the protein content to make these sandwiches a bit more filling. I used Abbot’s Chopped Chick’n, but feel free to use your favorite.
Vegan feta gives the filling a creamy, tangy flavor. Follow Your Heart is my favorite brand, but any type will work!
Parsley adds a bright, herby flavor to tie everything together.
Olive oil and red wine vinegar team up to form the rich, flavorful base of the dressing.
Dijon mustard adds a little tang and helps emulsify the dressing so it coats the salad evenly.
Garlic provides a bold, savory flavor and gives the dressing a little bite.
Dried oregano brings classic Mediterranean flavor and pairs especially well with the feta, olives, and red wine vinegar.

How to serve these Vegan Greek Salad Sandwiches

Add pita chips and hummus for a fun Mediterranean-inspired spread.
Pack the sandwiches for a picnic or outdoor lunch alongside some fresh fruit and your favorite snacks.
Serve alongside a bowl of tomato, lentil, or vegetable soup to round out your meal.
Pair them with crispy roasted potatoes for a heartier lunch or dinner.
Turn any leftover filling into a simple Greek salad by serving it on its own or over extra romaine, without the bread.

Substitutions & variations

Sub rolls – You can use pretty much any type of bread for this recipe! Ciabatta, sourdough, whole-wheat bread, pita pockets, or wraps are all great.
Romaine – Feel free to swap in iceberg lettuce, arugula, spinach, or mixed greens for a slightly different flavor and texture.
Cucumber – Persian or regular cucumbers can also be used.
Cherry tomatoes – Use diced Roma or heirloom tomatoes instead, or try sun-dried tomatoes for a more concentrated tomato flavor.
Kalamata olives – Any pitted Greek olives will work, so feel free to use your favorite variety.
Capers – If you don’t have capers, simply leave them out or throw in a few extra olives for more briny flavor.
Vegan chicken – Swap in your favorite vegan chicken product, crispy tofu, tempeh, chickpeas, or white beans to switch up the protein.
Parsley – Fresh dill, cilantro, or a combination of fresh herbs can be used instead if you prefer.
Dressing – For a creamier variation, whisk a spoonful of hummus or tahini into the dressing.
Make it spicy – Sprinkle on some crushed red pepper flakes or sliced pepperoncini to give the sandwiches a little kick.

Quick recipe tips

Toss the salad just before serving to keep the veggies crisp and prevent sogginess.

Toast the bread or sub rolls — this is optional, but can help add flavor and structure.

Season to taste and adjust the amount of salt as needed before adding the salad to each sandwich.

Step-by-step instructions

Make the dressing: Whisk all dressing ingredients together in a small bowl or jar.
Chop the veggies: Chop the romaine, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and parsley, then add them to a large bowl with the capers and vegan feta.

Add the vegan chicken: Cook according to package directions, then add to the bowl.
Toss everything together: Give the dressing another quick whisk, pour it over the salad, and toss to combine.

Assemble the sandwiches: If desired, toast the bread, then fill each sub, pita, or slice of bread with the salad just before serving.

Make ahead & storage

These Vegan Greek Salad Sandwiches are best assembled just before serving, but a little prep work ahead of time can make mealtime much easier. Here are my tips for making and storing the components.

Meal prep

Make the dressing: Prepare the dressing up to 3 days in advance and keep it in a sealed container in the fridge.
Chop the veggies: Romaine, cucumber, and tomatoes can be chopped a day ahead and stored separately in the fridge.
Prep the salad filling: You can combine the salad ingredients and vegan chicken a few hours ahead, but wait to add the dressing until you’re ready to serve for the best texture.
Assemble later: For the freshest sandwiches, wait to toss the salad with the dressing and assemble the sandwiches until just before serving.

Storing leftovers

Fridge: Store leftover salad filling in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Keep the bread separate: Store leftover filling separately from the bread to keep it from getting soggy.
Enjoy as a salad: Leftover filling makes a delicious Greek-inspired salad on its own or over a bed of romaine!

Freezing

Skip the freezer: Sadly, this recipe is not freezer-friendly. The fresh veggies, vegan feta, and dressed salad filling won’t freeze and thaw well, so I recommend sticking to the fridge instead.
