Any time of year is a good one when you are making a sandwich with tomatoes. The summer tomatoes are especially succulent. Their jewel tones and juicy texture can make any sandwich an eating event. Bursting with flavor and nutrition, they are hard to beat as a sandwich ingredient.

Tomato Sandwich Ideas

Connie, what great ideas! I've always loved tomato sandwiches, maybe because I lived in the midst of Maryland tomatoes ... here we grow them in hot houses and while good are not as good as field grown under the hot sun.

Susan, there is nothing quite as good as a fresh, warm tomato that comes straight out of the garden and jumps between two slices of bread.

so, so true ... LOL

I found the little squirrel chowing down on one of my green tomatoes.

Hello there,

The trick for my money is to slice the tomatoes very thinly - they taste so much better - no door stops for me.

Cheers

Ever since I was a kid I've loved tomato sandwiches with a few saltine crackers and some seasoned salt also tucked into the bread. I like the tomatoes thinly sliced also..

That's a very creative idea.

I am so jealous of my sister-in-law! We put in patio tomatoes at the same time. She is getting oodles of succulent red tomatoes from her plant. We are feeding the squirrels green tomatoes!

Does anybody have a natural, non-fatal answer to squirrels eating tomatoes? Do you have a favorite homemade spray?

American cheese on sourdough bread with tomato slices and mayonnaise is a delicious summer sandwich.
