Loved this sandwich!! I used a store bought Tzatziki made with greek yogurt, to save a step, and used cheddar and jalapeno jack for the cheeses. Made on a multi-grain ciabatta bun. I was taking it to work, so I prepped everything and made the sandwich, except put the tzatziki in a small container, and the tomatoes in another small container, to avoid sogginess. Worked out perfect! Love this sandwich, and ended up making it for quite a few lunches, as I had lots of tzatziki to use (lucky me!) Thanks for another great recipe, Starry! Made for Veggie Swap #61.

Very good sandwich. This would make a great lunch or dinner. Made for All Aboard the L-O-V-E Train! 2012 tag game. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Deeelicious! I wasn't able to find the buns listed, so used half of a small baguette. I also forgot to add the greens, but that was ok, since there was a lot going on with the sandwich to begin with. I also used my own tzatziki. Made for Everyday Holiday Tag game. :)

Perfect sandwich for the summer! I made the tzatziki the same time but I have some leftover,so guess what I'll be eating tomorrow. I used a French bread made by me.So refreshing.

This made for a wonderfully light lunch, and I enjoyed it immensely. I love the mix of cheese and tzatziki, and would definetely make this again.
