With the arrival of spring and warmth came the appetite for various sandwiches with vegetables. So I decided to look for delicious and fairly simple recipes. Moreover, after the May holidays, it's time to take a short break from eating meat ;)

So, let's start with the simplest and most delicious — Caprese! And even if I have already posted this recipe once, I will repeat it again.
Ingredients: tomatoes, bread, mozzarella, garlic, fresh or dry basil, olive oil, wine vinegar and ground black pepper.
Preparation. You can cook it on either fresh bread or lightly toasted. In the second case, you will need to sprinkle one side of the piece with a mixture of olive oil with crushed garlic and put this side on a preheated grill or frying pan. Then you need to turn the bread toasted side up, put the tomatoes cut into rings on top, then a layer of mozzarella and wait until the cheese starts to melt a little. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate, add a little salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with olive oil and wine vinegar. The final touch — adding fresh basil on top.
You can do the same thing, but only without toasting bread. That is, you just pour a mixture of oil and garlic on one side, put tomatoes and cheese on top, salt, pepper, a little wine vinegar and fresh herbs on top.
Ingredients: baked sweet pepper, goat cheese, olive tapinade, bread, arugula (optional).
Preparation. Bake peppers, peel them from seeds and skins. Lightly toast the bread on the grill, in a frying pan without oil or in a toaster. Spread one piece with goat cheese, the second with tapinade. Put chopped baked peppers and arugula between them.
About cheese — if you don't like goat cheese, you can take any soft cheese. It will be expensive to buy ready-made olive tapinade, so you can simply grind pitted olives in a blender together with olive oil and garlic (1 small clove of garlic per 100 g of olives) — you will get a basic mixture that will be no less tasty and much cheaper!
Ingredients: bread, radishes, tomatoes, feta, lettuce leaves, tzatziki or its replacement — a mixture of sour cream with finely chopped garlic, cucumber and herbs.
Preparation. Cut radishes and tomatoes into thin rings, wash and dry the lettuce leaves thoroughly, mix together feta and tzatziki sauce. Spread the pieces of bread, each on one side, with a mixture of feta and sauce, put a lettuce leaf on one piece of bread, add a little salt and pepper to the slices of radish and tomatoes, cover the top with a second piece of bread spread down.
Tzatziki is a traditional Greek sauce made from Greek yogurt, garlic and fresh cucumberEnjoy your appetite ;)
