This fun sandwich uses italian bread (a herb flavoured bread) topped with a zesty salad bound with a pesto flavoured mayonnaise dressing. If you are making pesto by hand, it is best to use a mortar and pestle. But you can make larger quantities in a blender and refrigerate it for upto a week. Chill all the ingredients for the salad and combine them with the dressing just before serving. You can choose your own vegetable combination for the salad.

The proportion of the pesto and mayonnaise in the dressing mixed with the crunchy topping is just perfect...neither pungent nor creamy.It tastes great on the herbed pizza base.
