  • I had some left over avocados and fresh mozzarella from a dinner party this past weekend. In my travels I picked up some sprouts, fresh tarragon, and Bibb (Boston) lettuce. I just made these sammies this evening for dinner and served with a side of watermelon and feta salad. What a delicious sandwich and it was a perfect pairing for a toasty summer (almost official summer) meal. A definite for the lunchbox for work and a light but satisfying meal. Thank you!

  • Yum! We make this recipe every summer at least twice. Sometimes we change it up a bit like using basil instead of tarragon or goat cheese instead of mozzarella, but it is always a winner.

  • This was so light and delicious! I failed at reading the recipe before going to the store, and bought basil instead of tarragon and forgot the lettuce. But it was still very good and I will definitely make again. Wonderful!

  • Looks so good, but I don't much care for mayo. I generally substitute guacamole. How would that go? Any other suggestions?

  • Super tasty and flavorful veggie sandwich. I even forgot to add the yogurt to the dressing and it was still delicious. Will make again!

  • Loved the recipe! This sandwich gave me a new appreciation for tarragon - usually not a huge fan of anise/licorice flavor but it was well balanced with the rest of the ingredients. I will definitely be adding this sandwich to my lunch time rotation.

  • Very tasty sandwich but the serving would be half sized for someone small/average sized. I calculated the calories on a lark and it's over 1000 calories per serving. Now it makes sense why I was so full afterwards. I could have saved my other half of the sandwich for dinner :I
