Instructions:
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together soy sauce, maple syrup, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper to create the marinade.

3. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with oil to prevent sticking.

5. While the tofu is grilling, toast the slices of bread until golden brown.
6. In a small bowl, mix together vegan mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create a flavorful sauce.
7. To assemble the sandwiches, spread the sauce on one side of each slice of bread.
8. Layer grilled tofu slabs, tomato slices, avocado slices, red onion slices, and arugula/spinach on one slice of bread.
9. Top with the remaining slice of bread to create a sandwich.
10. Serve the Grilled Tofu Sandwiches warm with a side salad or your favorite chips.
