Tomato adds a juicy sweetness and acidity. Onion offers a pungent, slightly spicy bite. Pickled cucumber delivers a tangy, acidic counterpoint that cuts through the richness. Vegan cheese, depending on the type used, can range from mild and creamy to sharp and cheddar-like, adding a dairy-free richness.
