This is an absurdly simple recipe, but it is such a wonderful way to enjoy fresh, ripe tomatoes. We have had an abundance of these juicy, red globes this season, so they’ve been starring in several of our meals each week.
The sandwich, once assembled, will keep for a few hours without becoming a soggy mess. This makes it a great option to pack in a lunch bag or take on a picnic. Keep it well wrapped until you’re ready to eat.
