There is nothing that tastes more like summer than a real, unadulterated tomato sandwich. Nothing that relies more on the simplest quality components. Fresh baked crusty bread, ripe summer tomatoes, good mayo, and a little cracked pepper and sea salt. That's it. Waxy grocery store tomatoes and squishy bread step aside, this is not your stage. This is the trifecta of summer, a showcase for wonderfruit, where luxe meets country. Sure you could add a fresh basil leaf or two, herb up your mayo, grate lemon zest, slip on a slice of fresh mozz or prosciutto, but there's really no need. Like a perfect apple pie in october, let it stand alone, speak of its history, indulge your senses and make you feel connected to the soil beneath your feet, for just a moment's respite on a hot summer's day.
