SIDE NOTES:
~ There’s a lot of give and take with this one – as it’s a toss together, drizzle in kind of thing. Don’t really need to count tomatoes or measure if you don’t want to. Just add everything in the amounts that look good to you.
~ If you prefer, you can use red wine vinegar instead of lemon juice. Depending on how much zing you’re in the mood for, be careful that you don’t add too much of either. You can add it little by little and taste as you go if you’re unsure. (My daughter & I like it a bit more lemon-y than my husband & son.)
~ Be sure to have a spoon handy, as it’s a juicy, drippy sandwich that may or may not hold together until the last bite!
