Ingredients

  • Ciabatta sandwich rolls
  • sliced salami sliced ham
  • prepared pesto (store bought is fine)
  • sliced tomatoes (drenched in olive oil and balsamic vinegar)
  • basil leaves or arugula
  • sliced Mozzarella (Provolone, or Asiago Cheese)
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1

    A little while before you plan to make your sandwiches, slice your tomatoes and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle them with a little salt and pepper, then pour a couple teaspoons of olive oil an vinegar over them. Let them sit for a while to soak in all that delicious flavor.

  2. 2

    Slice your Ciabatta roll and spread about a teaspoon or so of prepared pesto onto the bottom piece of bread. Top with two slices of ham and several slices of salami. Add a slice of cheese. Mozzarella and Provolone are great choices, but I happened to have some sliced Asiago so that’s what I used. Add a couple of the oil and vinegar soaked tomato slices, some basil leaves or arugula. Top with the other slice of bread and enjoy.

  3. 3

    For a picnic, I like to wrap my sandwiches individually in parchment or waxed paper and tie them with a string. It keeps them fresh and I think it looks kinda cute.
