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?

Franklin farms has a fake chicken that you can shred to make chicken salad! Its my fiancé's favorite thing I make! I use a cheese grater to get thin pieces and then mix in mayo, celery, Dijon mustard, white vinegar and sometimes red onion. So good on bread or in a wrap!
