These are three of my go-to sandwiches for the summer.
The one with tuna is my interpretation of a delicious sandwich I had in London a couple of years ago.
The one with hummus is a result of my laziness 😀 I love my Mediterranean meze which includes hummus, falafel, grilled peppers, home made flat bread.. However, I am not always in the mood for standing in kitchen for hours so…This is what I make on those days.
The one with grilled aubergine and pesto… mozzarella, mortadella, basil, tomatoes, balsamic… Do I need to say more?! 😀
