Summer tomato sandwich

Simple meals - 1 year ago -

 

Fresh tomatoes from the farmer’s market don’t need a lot of dressing up — no need to spend the day boiling down sauce or doing anything else fancy.

Here’s a simple but yummy sandwich that we keep coming back to:

  • Toast up some whole wheat bread. If you don’t bake bread, pick up a loaf at the farmer’s market along with the tomatoes.
  • Slather it with plenty of mayo and Dijon mustard. I put both condiments on both pieces of bread, so the textures and flavors mix. I’m told that this makes me strange, but I think it’s well worth it.
  • Slice some Swiss cheese and add that.
  • Finish the sandwich with some thick slices of tomato, mixing types if you have them. Don’t be shy, they are the star of the sandwich so pile them on!

If at all possible, eat this sandwich outdoors. Goes well with corn salad and watermelon salad.
