A great sandwich to make when you have a garden of fresh basil and tomatoes. It is very easy to make and very yummy. I would recommend this as an open-faced sandwich for those who are watching their carbs.

This is SO SO SO very good. I used a reduced fat mayonnaise and added a touch more dijon mustard. My kids and I ate every bite of this. They had theirs spread on whole wheat bread I spread mine inside a hollowed out cucumber. Read More

Simple and delicious! I never would have thought to add basil to egg salad, but it really works. I cut the recipe in half and opted for Hellman's light mayo and in addition to the tomato slices I added thin sliced English cucumber. This perfect with a side of fresh fruit for a filling and flavorful lunch. Thanks for a great recipe! Read More

This recipe earned each of its 5-stars. It is simply outstanding. The 1st time I made it exactly as written and was very pleased. The 2nd time I doubled the ingredients added extra fresh basil fresh minced onions minced orange bell peppers and chopped spicy pickles. Lordy Lordy I had to force myself to stop "tasting" it. Give this recipe a try. Quickly it will become one of your favorites! Read More

Wow this is really good and I followed it to a T. I think I've always added way too much mayo and other various wet ingredients, so this is so refreshing. Especially with the basil! YUM! Read More

Wow! This was so good! Who knew such a simple addition like fresh basil could add so much flavor. I used toasted OatNut Bread by Arnold instead of muffins. It was great!! Thank you for this recipe. Read More
