I have been on a kick of fresh veggies and fruit, and with summer's arrival, all I want to do devour is sandwiches and salads. This sandwich I started creating on a whim, thinking of ingredients that would taste delicious together, pairing crunchy and savory all in between two slices of sourdough bread.
My initial thought when assembling this sandwich was that I could pick up these ingredients in my local farmers market, and if you know me, I love grocery shopping, and to do it in the open and have first grab at fresh items?! Sign me up! I was searching for sourdough bread, heirloom tomatoes, fresh lettuce, cheese, and maybe some fresh fruit. Unfortunately, my first farmers market visit was a bust, and I walked away sad and empty-handed as I found nothing for my recipe. Nonetheless, I was reassured as I have the rest of the summer to scout out more farmer markets and have more success with buying fresh produce and fruits to make my recipes.
Despite my unsuccessful first trip, I still decided to make this sandwich and have my vision come to life, and what a delicious vision I had! My favorite part of this sandwich is the mozzarella, which truly marries beautifully with the arugula, and the crunch of the bread. If you want to make substitutions, fell free to remove the chicken, or add turkey instead. Pairing this with a refreshing lemonade or Poppi makes the sandwich even more enticing!
