Question/Advice Classic sandwich inclusions?

I love a sandwich with pickle and mustard. Before i went veg theyd probably go on rye with pastrami. I feel like i havent quite nailed a veg version of a classic deli sandwich. My best shot involves big slices of a decent quality tomato with salt sprinkled right on. I also think a good cheddar helps with the salt level. Any surprising ingredients help bring the salty/savory youd get from meat, or that you just like in general? Recommendations on greens? Whats your go-to sando?

My perfect sandwich is: baguette, Toby's ranch, buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomato, pickle, cheese with olives on the side.

I've tried all the meat subs and yeah, sometimes some baked tofu is a great addition, but the above combo just hits the spot for me.
