A tomato sandwich so juicy, you roll up your sleeves and eat it over the sink—that’s summer dining at its best.

Ingredients

Light mayonnaise

5 Tbsp

Fresh basil

2 Tbsp, finely chopped

Black pepper

1 tsp, divided

Garlic powder

¼ tsp

Heirloom tomato

4 large, cut into ½-inch-thick slices

Kosher salt

½ tsp

Country white bread

10 oz, (8 [1¼-oz] slices)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, stir the mayonnaise, basil, ½ tsp of the black pepper, and the garlic powder.
  2. Spread the tomato slices out on a layer of paper towels. Sprinkle with the salt and the remaining ½ tsp black pepper.
  3. Divide the tomato slices among 4 of the bread slices. Spread the basil mayonnaise on the remaining 4 bread slices. Top each sandwich with one of the bread slices. Cut the sandwiches in half.
  4. Serving size: 1 sandwich

Notes

Because tomatoes are the star attraction in this sandwich, be sure to select the ripest ones possible. They should feel heavy for their size and give a little when gently squeezed. Slice with a super-sharp knife so as not to squish out the juices. Serve the sandwiches immediately.
