This Caprese sandwich is the BEST summer lunch! Because the ingredients here are so simple, each one really shines through. Make sure to use the best tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and bread you can find!

Ingredients

4 (3.5-inch) squares Focaccia, sliced in half
Handful arugula
1 (8-ounce) ball fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 large tomatoes, sliced
⅓ cup Roasted Cherry Tomatoes, optional
Pickled Red Onions, optional
Fresh basil leaves
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Assemble the sandwiches on the focaccia with the arugula, mozzarella, and tomato slices. Add the roasted tomatoes and a few pickled onions, if desired.
Top with basil leaves and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Notes

For a vegan version, use sliced avocado and a slather of vegan pesto in place of the cheese.
