Methods & Tips
- Layering Matters: Place the wettest ingredients (like tomato and cucumber) in the center, surrounded by lettuce or bread, to avoid sogginess.
- Herb Power: Fresh herbs dramatically boost flavor—don’t skip them.
- Texture Balance: Combine creamy, crunchy, soft, and crisp elements for the ultimate bite.
- Bread Choice: Sourdough, whole-grain, or rustic country bread all work beautifully.
