When we went to Italy last year, we had tons of Caprese Sandwiches especially when we were on the go. I love this sandwich as it is easy to make and requires fresh ingredients and the best thing is that it does not get soggy. Caprese Sandwich is perfect for lunches, picnics and you can prep it ahead of time. I like to take them to beaches as well. They are filling and tastes so delicious. We are adding a twist to the Caprese Sandwich by adding the chili oil. It brings out so much flavor and give the perfect kick to a normal Caprese Sandwich.

One day salad was turned into sandwich by using same ingredients in between the bread.
