These vegan Reuben sandwiches are made with thinly sliced, seasoned beets layered on toasted rye bread, melted plant-based cheese, lots of tangy sauerkraut, and creamy Russian dressing.
Recipe Tips:
If you assemble the sandwich first and then toast it, the center will not heat through. In order to ensure that the sandwich is warm and melty throughout, heat all of the ingredients before assembling the sandwich.
Violife is my favorite brand of plant-based cheeses. For these Reubens, I use the Violife smoked gouda slices. They taste great and melt beautifully.
Reuben sandwiches are served with homemade Russian dressing, which is slightly spicy, thanks to the horseradish. I also like to add finely chopped dill pickles to the dressing to add a bit of tang.
