Tomatoes have an advantage because they are inherently juicy. Once cut into, they ooze all over your toast, which happily drinks it up the way you’d chug water after a long run. But that doesn’t mean you should limit your adventures in bread-mayo meals to just tomatoes. Try watery cucumbers or radishes, meaty roasted peppers or marinated artichokes, even squeaky blanched green beans. Or, my springtime favorite, asparagus.
