SIMPLE TOMATO SANDWICH

I am only posting such a simple recipe because I actually somehow lived 29 years of life before my husband introduced me to the Tomato Sandwich. If you've only used tomatoes as an accessory in your sandwiches, and not as the Featured Ingredient, you are truly missing summer as it was meant to be tasted. Note: after many years, I have solidly converted to mayo for this sandwich, with fresh ground black pepper too. (Oct 2012)

This is such a simple recipe. It tastes even better with fresh, home grown veggies, but store bought will do in you don't have anything else.

Time 10m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sliced cucumber
1 sliced tomatoes
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 slices bread
1 dash salt
1 dash pepper

Steps:

  • Toast bread (if desired).
  • Put mayo on slices of bread.
  • Layer with Cucumber slices.
  • Sprinkle Salt and Pepper, if desired.
  • Layer with tomato slices.
  • Put on the top piece of bread, and cut.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the taste of your sandwich. Look for tomatoes that are deep red, juicy, and have a slight give when you press them gently.
  • Use good quality bread: A good quality bread will help to hold your sandwich together and provide a nice contrast to the juicy tomatoes. Look for a bread that is sturdy, but not too dense.
  • Add some salt and pepper: A little bit of salt and pepper will help to enhance the flavor of the tomatoes and bread.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or thyme, can add a pop of flavor to your sandwich. If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead.
  • Use a variety of spreads: You can use a variety of spreads on your tomato sandwich, such as butter, mayonnaise, or olive oil. If you're looking for a healthier option, you can use mashed avocado or hummus.

Conclusion:

The classic tomato sandwich is a simple, yet delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few fresh ingredients, you can create a sandwich that is both flavorful and refreshing. Whether you're packing a lunch for work or school, or just looking for a quick and easy meal, a tomato sandwich is always a good choice.
