Secrets From The Chef:

  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese and tomatoes for the most flavorful sandwich.
  • If you don't have Campari tomatoes, you can use any type of tomato that you like.
  • For a different flavor profile, try using different vinegarettes, such as an 18-year aged balsamic vinegar or other herb-infused olive oils.
