PERFECT SUMMER SANDWICH (TOMATO, BASIL, CHEESE)
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!

- Freshly chopped basil is a must. It adds a bright, herbaceous flavor to the sandwich.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. You can add other ingredients to your sandwich, such as thinly sliced cucumbers, roasted red peppers, or avocado.
