Purple basil topped my tomatoes on this refreshing sandwich. I did not use salt and pepper but I think I'll use some cracked pepper next time. Easy and fun sandwich to make. Thank you for posting. Made for ZWT4 2008 game for the Family Pick Round I'm playing for Tastebud Tickling Travellers

Very fresh tasting and a bit of a switch up from the normal tomato and mozzarella combination. The kind of sandwich that is best on a hot summer's day. Made for ZWT4.
