Additional recipe notes
Dry your vegetables. Pat the vegetables dry with a paper towel. Keep It Fresh : Assemble the sandwich just before eating to prevent it from becoming soggy. Layer Smartly : Place wetter ingredients like tomatoes in the middle and dryer ingredients like leafy greens on the outside to maintain structure. If making ahead of time, wrap the sandwich well and keep refrigerated.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
