This is the classic Italian caprese salad turned into a quick sandwich. Fresh mozzarella, ripe tomato and basil get stacked on a toasted ciabatta roll with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and good olive oil. It comes together in about 10 minutes with no cooking required beyond toasting the bread, and it's an easy way to fit fresh protein and veggies into your macros at lunch.
