I am a meat lover, but when I’m looking at a sandwich menu there is one vegetarian option that always draws my attention and often wins out over its meaty brethren… the caprese sandwich. It’s fresh and zingy, but substantial enough that I feel completely sated when I’m done eating. When I realized I could easily throw one together at home, needless to say I was pretty pleased. I add my homemade garlic aioli to the traditional combo, which gives it an extra layer of flavor that people love.
