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!

This sandwich was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed some more seasoning.

This sandwich was a little too simple for my taste. I think it would have been better with some avocado or bacon.
