Origin of The Ultimate Pool Sandwich

This sandwich concept comes from the need for a quick, refreshing, and easy-to-eat meal while relaxing by the pool. Inspired by Mediterranean and deli-style sandwiches, it combines fresh veggies, creamy spread and protein-packed ingredients to keep you energized without feeling too heavy.
