I found this on PETA's site and made it last week. I loved rueben's when I wasn't veg, loved the spicy/salty tang of the sandwich which was/is provided by the sauerkraut, mustard and dressing.. Be sure to use a really low heat as to not burn the bread (like I did, so I ate it anyways and made another)
Avocado Reuben:
2 slices rye or pumpernickel bread
Mustard
Thousand Island dressing (recipe follows)
1/2 avocado, pitted, peeled, and mashed
1/4 cup sauerkraut
Spread one slice of bread with some mustard, the other slice with Thousand Island dressing.
Place the bread slices, dry side down, in a lightly oiled skillet. Top one slice with avocado, and the other with sauerkraut. Over medium heat, grill the sandwich until lightly browned and hot, about 5 minutes. Put the sandwich halves together and enjoy!
Makes 1 sandwich.
Thousand Island Dressing:
1 cup vegan mayonnaise
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
3 Tbsp. sweet pickle relish
2 Tbsp. minced stuffed green olives
Blend the ingredients thoroughly in a mixing bowl or blender.
Makes 2 cups
