The Caprese Twist: Add a slice of fresh mozzarella and a drizzle of balsamic glaze for a chef’s kiss Italian vibe.
The Southern Kick: Use Duke’s Mayo and add a dash of hot sauce to the tomato for a soooo good zesty bite.
The Toasted Treat: Lightly toast the bread for extra crunch and a more classy look.

Once you taste a high-quality tomato with just salt and mayo, you’ll realize why this soooo good classic is a summertime religion for many. Enjoy the juice!
