Ina Garten's tomato sandwich was delicious, but her basil mayo stole the show.

When I first laid eyes on the Barefoot Contessa's tomato sandwich recipe, I had a feeling I'd found my new go-to summer lunch.I've had tomato sandwiches before, typically with the same straightforward ingredients: two slices of bread, some tomatoes, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.Ina Garten's recipe, however, kicks the sandwich up a notch with a mayo that has a large cast of flavors, including basil. As someone who loves flavored mayo, I was immediately excited to try the recipe — and I wasn't disappointed.
After buying tomatoes and bread, I prepped and measured all of the basil mayo ingredients.
The straightforward ingredient list included olive oil, basil, and garlic.
