If you’ve been watching our Instastories, you know Zelda, Spiro and I are immersing ourselves in Greek life and everything it has to offer — delicious food included! There is nothing better than finding a killer grilled sandwich and this Avocado, Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich is oh so yummy. It takes like two seconds to put together (okay, maybe more like fifteen minutes) and you can eat it anywhere. All it takes is a little pesto, a few cherry tomatoes, mashed avocado and some fresh mozzarella. How easy is that? Be sure to follow along on Instagram to see all our Greek adventures! We will be traveling around the islands for the next month.
