The Best Way To Upgrade Your Tomato Sandwich
Description
To make a tomato sandwich, you really only need three ingredients: white bread, mayonnaise, and fresh tomatoes. It’s delicious as-is, and this is how I eat it most often.
However, there are countless ways one can go about sprucing up a tomato sandwich. Add avocado, lettuce, sweet onion, or thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese—these are my go-to ways to upgrade the sandwich I eat all summer long.
Recently, I saw @chelseasmessyapron on TikTok make her popular cucumber sandwiches. She added a three-ingredient spread to her sandwiches. It’s a simple mixture of cream cheese, mayonnaise, and a Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning packet. I was inspired to try the spread on a tomato sandwich—it sure did not disappoint!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese at room temperature
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 (1-ounce) packet Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning
- 2 slices white bread
- 1 ripe tomato, sliced
- 1 ripe avocado, sliced (optional)
Instructions
- Storage: If stored properly, you can enjoy this tasty combination of flavors for at least five days. Keep it refrigerated in an airtight container. I noticed that it tastes better after a day or two in the fridge—give it a good stir before using it again.
- Add Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs such as chopped dill, chives, or parsley are all easy additions that will do wonders for the sandwich as fresh herbs always do.
- Toast the Bread: Toast your bread before building the sandwich. The texture of the toasted bread will take your sandwich to the next level.
