Simple Tomato Sandwich

Not something I would expect from a gourmet chef's restaurant, but any recipe that has me eating it less than 5 minutes after seeing the recipe deserves way more than 5 stars (and 3 sandwiches at that)! Everyone has their personal favorite bread (I prefer squishy, white bread like Wonder), but don't usually toast mine unless making a blt or club). Warm tomatoes are a law and I would only use home-grown garden tomatoes (or bought ones if the bought ones were heirloom type). I go with mayo and no salt for me- just sopping up the tomato juices from the slices onto the bread before adding the mayo. I learned this recipe from my dad, who was a depresson-era child, but kept his love for the simple things always. Sometims simple is best, and at that here's 5 more stars for your collection!

Ingenious! Whenever I've craved a sandwich, but had no meat options, I would sulk and opt for something else - but who ever would've thought to just have a tomato sandwich?! And it's perfect because you only get the best part - the tomato and mayo! I must've had 3 of these today after finding this recipe...

I am in 7th heaven right now. I read this recipe and had to have one right now. It is about 2:30 a.m. and I am lovin it. Thanks for posting this. I would never have thought a tomato sandwich would be this good. I made no substitutions. Great as is.

On hot summer days when the tomatoes are at the peak of perfection nothing beats a tomato sandwich. My first taste of this was at a friend's house and she always bought Dukes mayonnaise so every summer I get a small jar of Dukes just for this. They are best when eaten while still wet from the lake or pool For the Vegans, I knew someone who ate these with mustard and loved every bite just as much. I also sometimes put a thin slice of vadalia onion on this if in season and when out of mayo butter is good too. I don't miss the heat but I do miss summer's bounty.
