Caprese Sandwiches

with Creamy Basil Sauce & an Almond-Studded Green Salad | 2 servings

Making a great sandwich is an art form. Dramatics aside, when you get it right, there’s really nothing better. Luckily, we’ve made nailing it totally effortless. (All you have to do is assemble and dig in.) This one’s got ciabatta bread, creamy basil sauce, ripe tomatoes, mixed greens, and fresh mozz. There’s also a balsamic-tossed side salad to round things out. Put everything together at the office or be your own best friend and whip it up before you leave for work. When noon rolls around, you’ll be looking at the office fridge with heart eyes.
