I hardly ever use mayo on sandwiches anymore. Instead I drizzle a teaspoon of salad dressing on the bread before piling on the goodies. Because salad dressings are more pronounced in flavor than mayonnaise, I can get by with using less. Sometimes I go with honey Dijon, but my favorite is Marzetti’s Italian dressing with blue cheese crumbles. I made my own dressings until I stumbled across this winner in a store earlier this year. Now, I can’t get enough of it.

My favorite sandwich in an open-face made with crusty homemade bread (just half a slice) moistened with the Italian-blue cheese dressing and topped with thin-sliced onion, good deli roast beef, crumbled feta cheese, sliced ripe tomato and a couple of leaves of fresh basil. Yum.
