Tomato-Provolone Sandwiches with Pesto Mayo

Credit: Photo: Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Leigh Ann Ross

"Absolutely delicious! Easy to prepare for a quick lunch (one dish meal). The crunchiness of the toasted sourdough bread adds a great texture to the complimentary tastes of the bitter arugala, juicy acidic tomato (I used homegrown from our garden - extra yummy!), smooth provolone and herbed pesto mayo. A definite keeper & palate pleaser!"
