Notes

  • Chopping all ingredients finely helps the flavors meld well together and makes the sandwich less messy to eat.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of mayonnaise or Italian dressing to suit your taste preference or desired sandwich moisture.
  • To add extra zest, consider a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of balsamic vinegar.
  • This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the crispness of the bread and vegetables.
