Method

- Layer lettuce, veggies, and the protein filling.
- Close, press gently, and toast if desired.
Notes
Use thick hung curd or Greek yogurt to keep the spread creamy without making the sandwich soggy.
Whole grain or multigrain bread makes this high-protein vegetarian sandwich more filling and fiber-rich.
Lightly toast the bread for a crisp texture while keeping the filling fresh and soft.
Pat dry tomatoes and cucumbers before layering to avoid excess moisture.
Season paneer or chickpeas well for a more flavorful Mediterranean sandwich filling.
Assemble just before serving to keep the vegetables crunchy and fresh.
Add extra paneer, tofu, or chickpeas to increase the protein content and make the sandwich more satisfying.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice right before serving helps brighten the Mediterranean flavors.
Store the spread and chopped vegetables separately if making ahead for meal prep.
Avoid overfilling the sandwich so it stays easy to hold and toast properly.
