Tomato Basil Mayo Sandwich

I have just returned from a week of relaxing at my in-laws cottage. It really was a whole week of doing nothing but float around in the lake on an inflatable raft and drinking beer. So obviously not a lot of fancy cooking happened, and the fancy cooking that did occur were repeat recipes already on the blog. So today I have something super simple, yet refreshing after a week of empty carbs!

 My first inspiration for this sandwich was my garden. After coming home from our vacation I was greeted by perfectly ripened yellow tomatoes and huge bunches of basil.

 In a bowl combine 1 heaping tbsp light mayo with 1 minced garlic clove and about 7-10 leaves of basil, minced. Season with salt and pepper.

 A dash of fresh lemon juice would have been lovely in this as well..but I didn't have any lemons :(

 Slice up your tomato

 Toast 2 slices of whole grain bread and spread some of the basil mayo on it...the more the better.

 Top with your gorgeous sliced tomato

Slice in half and devour. Yum!
