I love this sandwich! A quick, fresh and light dinner for a weeknight or after a workout. The fresh basil really pairs well with the feta. For a rounded meal, we usually serve this with "Green Salad with Apples and Maple-Walnut Dressing" also from the August 2005 issue. The piquant flavors of both recipes really work well together.04/29/08

We LOVE this sandwich. Definitely one to make regularly while the garden is full of fresh basil.07/03/06
