One of the greatest things about having a summer garden is being able to make tomato sandwiches. I was raised on these messy and easy summer delights. We have even been known to eat tomato sandwiches (or sometimes tomato fold-overs) for breakfast. Despite the fact that the tomato sandwich, complete with mayonaise, salt, pepper and sliced tomato, really needs no improvement, we can't help but make them just a little gourmet. This summer sandwich was the sum of our garden bounty and thoroughly met our hunger for the uniquely flavorful homegrown tomato sandwich. I hope others can get creative with their tomato sandwiches this summer.
Glorious Summer Tomato Sandwiches for Two
2-3 ripe homegrown tomatoes
4 slices good bread, toasted on both sides
Mayo (not the low-fat kind please)
Mustard (we like dijon)
Pickles (we chose our homeade squash pickles)
Arugula (or whatever lettuce greens you are growing)
sliced red onion (again, homegrown)
sliced homegrown cucumber
fresh basil
Assemble and enjoy and don't forget your napkin!
