Notes

For the freshest flavor, use high-quality, organic ingredients where possible.
To save time, you can prepare the chopped mixture in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a day. Just be sure to assemble the sandwich right before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your taste preferences or dietary needs. This recipe is highly adaptable, allowing you to experiment with different vegetables, condiments, or even bread types.
If you’re serving this sandwich for a crowd, consider setting up a sandwich bar where guests can assemble their own sandwiches with their preferred toppings and fillings.
