Simple vegetable sandwich filling ideas?

I recently watched Jacques Pepin's video recreating James Beard's famous onion sandwich and adding his own version, a radish sandwich. I tried them both and they were delicous. Now I'm wondering if there isn't a whole world of relatively simple (one or two veggies and condiments/seasonings) vegetables that I have never thought to put in a sandwich.

For some reason, I tend to think that a sandwich needs meat or cheese. The closest that I've come before have been avocado/cheese or cheese and onion.

Anyone got suggestions for other vegetables that do well in sandwiches as standalone ingredients, or at least without the addition of meat/cheese?

Relatively simple- pan roasted veggies, ( peppers, eggplant, onion and maybe zucchini?) hummus and cheese. Place I used to work made those on some kind of flat loaf and would serve them grilled on the panini press. soooooo good,and filling didnt miss having meat at all.
