Vegan Reuben

This thick meaty and cheesy Reuben sandwich is a North American classic at delicatessens. Though similar to other sandwiches like smoked meat sandwiches, the use of saurkraut in this version gives it a kick and the swiss cheese melts perfectly into the sandwich! 

All you need to do to make this vegan recipe is spread the Russian dressing on rye bread, stack your vegan meat and cheese and toast in a buttered pan until warm and melty.
