drbabs's Notes:
Expand1 heirloom tomato, fresh picked if possibe Ask a question about this ingredient
2 slices thick bread (White is traditional...but you can use whatever bread you like. You may be tempted to toast it, but don't! You want the bread to be soft.) Ask a question about this ingredient
1 tablespoon mayonnaise, thinned with a little lemon juice (You can chop up some fresh parsley and/or basil and add it to the mayo if you like.) Ask a question about this ingredient
salt and fresh ground pepper to taste Ask a question about this ingredient
Stir lemon juice (and herbs if using) into mayonnaise and spread on both slices of bread. Slice tomato thickly and lay slices on 1 slice of bread. Generously sprinkle salt and pepper onto the tomato slices, and cover with second slice of bread.

Simply the best.
Missing one key ingredient: a big glass of cold milk!
Yes, and so good....If I had AntoniaJames' talent, I'd used home baked bread.
Me too!! Except I toast the bread - to each his/her own...
I love the little touches you are adding to! And yes, while still warm from the garden is the best.
My 2nd favorite way to eat an heirloom tomato! Perfect, Dr. B. and thank you!! (Guess what I'm having for lunch today??)
I love this sandwich. As I kid I probably ate it every day during the summer. Thank you for reminding me of this childhood favorite. Running out to buy some more tomatoes now!
Even though I grew up in the South, I didn't discover this treat until I grew my own tomatoes.
Someone had to post this.... Is there anything in the world better than a tomato sandwich?

This is my favorite thing to eat all summer. With a great, nice tomato nothing is better!
