What is the perfect picnic food? Sandwiches! I grew up eating sandwiches on picnics whether we were at the beach, lake, or the middle of nowhere. They are easy to make, easy to transport, and easy to eat… because they don’t require utensils! I wrapped these Turkey on Ciabatta with Sun-dried Tomato Aioli, Arugula, and Provolone sandwiches in regular parchment paper and tied it up with baker’s twine…..

I may have mentioned in the past, that I do not like raw tomatoes. Well this Sun-dried Tomato Aioli is the perfect way to add a zesty tomato flavor to your sandwiches, without the mess of sliced tomatoes…..

And here is the actual sandwich…..

How to make Turkey on Ciabatta with Sun-dried Tomato Aioli:

I purchased a loaf of Ciabatta bread, but rolls would also work really well. I sliced the bread into approximately 2-inch slices…..

Then sliced them in half horizontally. Spread both sides of the bread with the Sun-dried Tomato Aioli…..

Add about 6 slices (or a handful) of sliced turkey…..

Top with a slice of provolone cheese…..

and a handful of arugula lettuce…..

Place the top slice of bread on the sandwich and serve…..

Yes, I made my sandwich upside down, but it was still quite delicious! 😉 While I was making the sandwich, it seemed like a huge amount of turkey. Now it all seems to have disappeared, lol.

Wouldn’t it be nice to share this picnic with Richie, his guitar and that awesome smile?

A girl can dream. 😉

Next up for our Cooking with Astrology “Cancer” picnic, is a Healthy Italian Pasta Salad, Cherry Lemonade and Tropical Cantelope Salad.

Dear Lisa, I love a simple sandwich. They are the best. Have a wonderful weekend ahead. Blessings, Catherine xo

My family lives off sandwiches! I am all over this one!

This sandwich would be the perfect picnic food, but we would totally eat it up any time in our house! I love the arugula with that awesome sounding aioli, and you can’t beat ciabatta either. 🙂

I was never that into sandwiches growing up, but I love a good “grown-up” sandwich and this fits the bill! Pinning!

This sandwich looks delicious…I love the use of sun dried tomatoes! Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I’m so glad I haven’t done my shopping yet today…Because I need to pick all of this up! Yummy. Thanks for sharing at Foodie Friday Lisa
