OBC eats is back! After another long New England winter, spring is finally in the air! The sun is out, the tulips are blooming and we are ready for summer (and lunch)! This beautiful weather has inspired our OBC eats this Wednesday afternoon.
We are taking all of the lovely ingredients one might find in a summer Caprese salad and putting them smack in the middle of two delicious pieces of sourdough bread. And then, of course, toasting it to become a cheesy wonderful mess. This recipe is simple, cost efficient, vegetarian, and is full of flavor. It’s also office friendly!
Unfortunately, farmers markets here in Boston aren’t open yet, but we try to buy organic and local ingredients as much as possible! We love supporting local farmers and we love making our tummies as happy as possible. We can’t wait to make this recipe again with farm fresh ingredients from the SoWa open market this summer!
Happy Lunching!
