This is a sandwich that I discovered in Belgium. Its very simple. I found white asparagus canned at my local grocery store.
Slice the French bread to whatever size sandwich you want to eat!
Add sliced tomato, lettuce, asparagus, and vegan mayo. Enjoy!
I put the asparagus on a paper towel first to absorb the water.
You can also toast the French bread first and add a little vegan mayo.

SO HOW'D IT GO?
I've been making a version of this for years in memory of a summer I spent in Spain. I ate a "Sandwich Vegetal" at least every other day when I was there. I found jarred white asparagus at Whole Foods. Build sandwich on white or wheat bread, put margarine on the outside bread and grill sandwich in a pan. I'm not sure if I just like it because it brings back memories, because I can see how the thought of wilted lettuce and warm mayo could seem gross. But I love it! Give it a try ;)b
I was looking for something to use up my asparagus and stumbled upon this..
Like the other user I sauteed it in a little bit of butter...while it was sauteeing I threw in sliced red onion some pepper and a little bit of garlic salt....
It came out soooo good. It's one of my favorites now! Thanks!!! : D :)>>> :)>>>
;)b I loved this! very quick and easy to make. I used fresh Asparagus as well. Very filling and tasty!
This recipe is sooo delicious I used fresh green asparagus and sauteed them in a little butter for about 10 min, so they still had a crunch to them and not all wilted and mushy. I seasoned them with salt and pepper and also used a little lemon pepper, the lemon pepper makes it sooo much better. After I sauteed them I drained them on some paper towels so my sammie wasn't soggy. Then toasted the bread a little mayo, tomato, lettuce and I used a little red onion. SOOO GOOD! :)>>>
