Method
Bread
Cheese & Spread
Spread basil pesto on the cut surfaces of the focaccia, about 2 tablespoons per sandwich.
Tear burrata cheese from its container and place on the bottom half; distribute the burrata (1 ball) evenly.
Tomatoes & Greens
Layer sliced tomato (1 large tomato) over the burrata.
Top with wild arugula (2 cups) for peppery greens.
Cucumber & Olive Salad
In a bowl, combine cucumber (0.5 cucumber, sliced), Kalamata olives (0.25 cup), olive oil (1 tablespoon), lemon juice (1 teaspoon), salt (0.5 teaspoon), and black pepper (0.25 teaspoon). Toss to coat. Let flavors meld briefly.
Finish & Serve
Close the sandwich with the top focaccia half and press gently to compact.
Slice into portions and serve with the cucumber & olive salad on the side.
Garnish
Garnish each sandwich with torn basil leaves (6 leaves) for aroma and color.
