Po’boys are a staple sandwich in the American South—primarily in Louisiana, where they are often topped with fried shrimp. But for a vegetarian alternative that is equally delicious, this recipe incorporates fresh veggies like zucchini, bell pepper, and cabbage, brought together with a flavorful and creamy avocado spread.

Rolls:
  • 4 (4-inch-long) whole wheat torpedo rolls
Avocado rémoulade:
  • 1 avocado, peeled and core removed
  • 1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice
  • ½ tbsp. capers
  • ¼ tsp. fresh garlic, minced
  • ½ tbsp. hot sauce
Filling:
  • 1 carrot, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 beet, peeled and thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 c. red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 c. pea shoots
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced lengthwise
