I love the caprese salad. It's light and filling (not stuffing!). The only problem is that it takes a while to eat...and sometimes you just don't have that time. What I love about this sandwich is that you can have everything chopped/sliced ahead of time and on the day you're in a rush, it'll take you about 2 minutes to make it.
What you need:
1 red onion, sliced thinly
1-2 slice tomatoes
Basil leaves - sliced into thin strips
Mozzarella cheese, sliced
Black pepper
Balsamic vinegar
If you have everything pre-sliced, it's super easy (and even if you don't, it only adds another couple of minutes) I think one of the reasons I like this sandwich is it also reminds me a bit of Subway, which I miss.
Place the cheese slices on the bottom of the bread, layer with onion and sprinkle with the basil strips. I put the tomato on the top layer to help moisten the bread. (You could also put some pesto on the bread if you don't have basil). Grind a little black pepper over it and then drizzle on the vinegar. Serve with apple slices, chips or fries. Yum!
