Easy Tomato Sandwich

Greetings all!

Spring is here - and soon heirloom tomatoes will be in season! Did you know that heirloom tomatoes have been passed down from one generation to the next for at least 50 years – hence the name!? In the UK, they might be called heritage tomatoes. There are family heirlooms, commercial heirlooms, mystery heirlooms, or created heirlooms, and their DNA has not been modified in a lab.

All I know is they are more delicious than other varieties! I love them in this very easy tomato sandwich where they ARE the main ingredient. Of course, you can add hard-boiled egg, cheese and deli meats but I recommend you try this sandwich with just tomatoes first! 

Ingredients:

• 1-2 slices bread, toasted

• 1 tomato, sliced

• Mayonnaise (you can replace with a mashed avocado, etc.)

• Salt and pepper
