Soooo tasty. I've made this at least 10x since first trying it last summer. Now that the weather is nice I'm at it again. Easy to switch up the veggies, too. I've made it for friends or family get-togethers and people rave about the herbed mayo especially....we slather it on potatoes, bread, salmon, raw veggies...many possibilities. Try using other herbs, too. I've used oregano, basil, dill...so far it all seems to work. This recipe is a hit.

This was great! My whole family loved it. I used artisanal asagio bread and smoked mozzarella. Didn't use the mushrooms but will add next time, which would be tomorrow if my family has any say. The sauce was delicious. Thanks Rachael for this inspirational sammie!
