Plan ahead because the vegetable mixture needs to be refrigerated 25 hours for the flavors to blend well. The recipe yields 112 party-size, quartered sandwiches. Preparation time, not refrigeration time, is stated.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwich spread. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and free of blemishes.
- Chop the vegetables finely: This will help them to blend together well and create a smooth, creamy spread.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the vegetables: This is the easiest way to get a smooth and creamy consistency. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can grate the vegetables by hand.
- Season the spread to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add herbs, spices, or citrus zest for extra flavor.
- Chill the spread before serving: This will help it to firm up and make it easier to spread.
