Lentil loaf is great to make for dinner, but the best part about it is when you have leftovers. It makes great sandwiches, almost like a pate. A slice of lentil loaf, lettuce, tomato, vegan mayo and a squeeze of mustard, on fresh bread served with a dill pickle. Feels like I am reading a deli menu.
