💡 Expert Tips
- 1.Hummus as moisture barrier. Prevents bread from getting soggy.

- 3.Salt the tomato. Amplifies flavor.
- 4.Hearty bread. Whole grain holds up to wet fillings.
🔬 Why It Works
Healthy vegetable sandwiches succeed with a moisture barrier (hummus), variety of textures (crisp vegetables, creamy avocado, salty feta), and proper bread. Hummus provides protein and richness; vegetables provide vitamins and crunch; avocado provides healthy fats. The combination is genuinely satisfying.
