Caprese Sandwich
We love sandwiches in all seasons, but in summer, we adore light, fresh, and delicious sandwiches. One of our favorite summer sandwich ingredients is a big juicy tomato. We love tomatoes in everything in the summer, so adding them to salads and sandwiches is a must. The inspiration for this sandwich came from Caprese salad. We love the classic tomato-mozzarella combination, which also works so well in a sandwich. The cherry on top, so to speak, is the homemade basil pesto or Pesto Genovese, which adds a fantastic Mediterranean note. So good!
