Fresh-Baked Sandwich Bread
It all starts with a good tomato, but consider the bread. Dare we suggest something other than white bread? We used whole grain here. But what makes a sandwich great is your right to do whatever you want.
Alfalfa Sprouts
Tomatoes pack a lot of vitamin C, but for an even more nutritious sandwich, add vitamin-rich alfalfa sprouts, like the kind grown at Sunny Creek Farm in Tryon.
Jams and Spreads
Two recommendations: Carolina Table Salt’s bacon jam (below, left) and Open Season Foods’ Summer Sandwich Spread. You’ll never use mayo again.
Chive Blossoms
Chive blossoms will make your tomato sandwich about as beautiful as it can be. You can say the same for your garden, where they’ll thrive all summer.
Sandhills Peaches
You can’t go wrong with a peach. Don’t believe us? Slice one and layer it in a tomato sandwich, then we’ll talk. In the Sandhills, peaches are ready now. Take a trip.
