A tomato sandwich so juicy, you roll up your sleeves and eat it over the sink—that’s summer dining at its best. Because they’re the star attraction, be sure to select the ripest tomatoes possible. They should feel heavy for their size and give a little when gently squeezed. Slice with a super-sharp knife so as not to squish out the juices. Serve the sandwiches immediately.
