The seven flavor axes of the whole sandwich, each summed across its layers. The shaded ring is the catalog's middle 80%; the small number under each axis is where this sandwich falls in the catalog. A shape that sits inside the ring is in the range most sandwiches live in; a spike past it is where this one stands apart.

## What each layer brings

| Layer     | Role  | Flavor and texture  | Points  |
| --------- | ----- | ------------------- | ------- |
| hummus    | sauce | fat 3 creamy        | **+9**  |
| cucumber  | bulk  | crunchy juicy fresh | **+10** |
| olive oil | fat   | fat 5 silky smooth  | **−1**  |

Points: what the Sandwich Score would lose if that one layer were left out, everything else the same. A negative number means the sandwich scores higher without it. Flavor runs 0 to 5 on each axis.

## Pairings

- **Hummus + Cucumber**: cool crunch over nutty hummus
