Farm Fresh Tomato Sandwich


This was my lunch today.
A tomato from a friend's farm garden,
sliced onto whole wheat bread 
and garnished with basil from my yard. 
Add some ranch dressing and fresh cracked pepper and viola!! 
 Oh so good!
What was on the menu at your house?

    That looks much better than my PB&J sandwich. My tomatoes are still green, but once they ripen I will be trying your sandwich idea. My basil is doing great.
    I think it will taste even better on that pretty plate :).

    There is nothing like a big, juicy tomato, homegrown of course, to make a sandwich great.

    We have only kale from our garden at this point, but we are enjoying it. xo

    Since it is still cool and cloudy here today I had a nice bowl of homemade chicken with rice soup, and some crackers. On warm days (if we ever have any) I love a tomato sandwich.

    Perfection.
    I like BLT's too.
    Tonight I'm making fresh artichokes and guyere omlettes.And fresh tomatoes sliced.
    You're tomatoes are redder than mine though~ there is nothing like homegrown warm from the garden.
    good eats!

    That looks a healthy and juicy lunch. My tomatoes are just popping up out of the ground. Hopefully I'll have some nice ones in summer. That is if the bugs don't get them first. I had a ham, cheese, tomato, cucumber and lettuce sandwich with wholegrain bread.

    What a beautiful sandwich. Our poor vegetable garden has taken a royal beating with the drought and the constant animals scavenging for food.

    Oh boy, am I LOVING "real" tomatoes here! They were so colorless and tasteless in Las Vegas!

    Beautiful blog. Beautiful taste in dishes!
