Notes

  1. Customize Your Sandwich:
    • Feel free to swap or add vegetables based on your preferences. Try adding spinach, grated carrots, or sprouts for extra crunch and nutrition.
    • For a spicy kick, add a few slices of jalapeño or a dash of hot sauce.
  2. Make It Gluten-Free:
    • Use gluten-free bread or wraps to make this recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
  3. Add Protein:
    • To make the sandwich more filling, add a source of protein like grilled tofu, chickpeas, or a slice of cheese.
  4. Prevent Sogginess:
    • If you’re packing the sandwich for later, keep wet ingredients like tomatoes separate and add them just before eating.
    • Lightly toast the bread to create a barrier against moisture.
  5. Storage Tips:
    • Store assembled sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
    • For meal prep, store sliced vegetables and bread separately and assemble the sandwich when ready to eat.
  6. Serving Suggestions:
    • Pair your vegetable sandwich with a side of fresh fruit, a light salad, or a handful of baked chips for a complete meal.
  7. Kid-Friendly Version:
    • For picky eaters, use milder vegetables like cucumber and lettuce and add a spread they enjoy, such as cream cheese or mashed avocado.
  8. Vegan Option:
    • Skip the mayo or cheese and use plant-based spreads like hummus or tahini to keep the recipe vegan-friendly.
