Tips & Notes

Soft white or wheat bread works great for these cold sandwiches.

You can also add the veggies with out sautéing, if doing so skip the onion and fresh garlic and add some garlic powder.

Add some Sriracha to the filling for a kick.

If adding watery veggies like cucumber and tomato- grate the cucumber and squeeze out the water and remove the seeds from the tomato. Also the sandwich needs to be consumed immediately.
