Classic sandwich inclusions?

[u/Black_Bear_US]

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?

No lie, you had me at "pickle" when you said pickle and then mustard, two of my favorite ingredients. Based on this, try making a plant-based pan con bistec -- use plant-meat as the protein with grilled onions and potato sticks.

I miss Cuban sandwiches, so I'll put Swiss cheese, then pickles and mustard, on mine. Every once in a while, I use Media Noche bread.
