This Tomato Salad sandwich is wonderful on a hot day when tomatoes are at their peak.
Tomato Salad Sandwiches
Last Updated on April 16, 2022
I am always so happy when the big, juicy tomatoes come into season. One of my favorite things to do is make tomato salad sandwiches. For our house, Fridays are meatless, so this was a perfect sandwich on a hot day. I’m not sure why the supermarkets I go to don’t have these big, fat tomatoes. I’ve asked and they said that no one wants to buy them, so today, I was determined to find some really nice ones. I lucked out and found a small grocer that had them. I got three, one for today’s sandwich, one to make Fried Green Tomatoes, and the other one by itself for salad. Here’s my catch:
The big one is just shy of two pounds.
Of course, you can use anything you want on your sandwich, but this one tastes very good.
