Notes
Best served immediately after assembling to keep textures fresh and vibrant.
You can prep the lemon dill sauce up to 2 days ahead and store it in the fridge.
Add avocado or olives for extra richness and Mediterranean depth.
Lightly toast the baguette just before serving for the best crunch.
For a stronger citrus kick, add extra lemon zest to the sauce.
