Peppers certainly smoke and grill well, so some variant of a roasted
pepper humus would probably go over well with pretty much everyone.
Asparagus grills well also as does eggplant. A sandwich of grilled
eggplant topped with fresh roasted peppers and a garnish of grilled
asparagus on a nice roll spread with some of that humus sounds pretty
good to me and I'm not a vegetarian.

If they are vegetarians vs. the really loony vegans, the usual potato
salad, pasta salad, cole slaw and whatnot should be acceptable. Fish
might be acceptable as well (all the vegetarians I know eat some fish),
so salmon and trout smoke very nicely.
