PERFECT SUMMER SANDWICH (TOMATO, BASIL, CHEESE)



Perfect Summer Sandwich (Tomato, Basil, Cheese) image

This sandwich screams summer to me. I made it after going to the farmer's market and getting lots of fresh ingredients, including wonderful herbed ciabatta bread. If you don't like garlic much, just rub a clove on there (sliced to get the flavor. This is also delicious cold, or with a drizzle or balsamic vinegar on the tomato. For a slightly different (equally tasty, if you ask me) option, use havarti slices instead of mozzarella. Enjoy!

FAVORITE SUMMER SANDWICH



Favorite Summer Sandwich image

Tomato sandwiches of all kinds are a staple in a summer kitchen. This version, packed with thickly sliced, juicy garden tomatoes, can be a bit messy to eat. To make it easier, cut each sandwich in half, without the top slice of bread, then cut the remaining bread slices in half and place them on top. Use thinly sliced bread and the higher-fat ingredients such as avocado sparingly.

8 slices of organic black bread or seven-grain bread
1/2 cup Red Pepper Coulis

2 large tomatoes, each cut into 6 slices
1 medium-size ripe Hass avocado, peeled, halved, pit removed, and cut into 1/4-inch slices
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
