Notes
Expert Tip:
Keep your tomatoes at room temperature. They will have more flavor!
Eat it fast. Once it's made it gets soggy quick.
If you are worried about your sandwich getting soggy you should try toasting the bread.
Fleur de Sel is one fancy upgrade that is really worth doing. So yummy!
Heirloom tomatoes have a lot of flavor variations so try different types to see what you like.
Try different kinds of bread!
Another summer favorite for me is to layer
creamy cucumber salad
on white bread to make a sandwich. Try it!
