Cooking Lab - Ham & Cheese Open Sandwich w Tomato & Basil Salsa

After a full week of gourmet adventures with good friends, finally I've got a Saturday morning to myself. 

Instead of sitting on the deck relaxing, there was the piled-up chores that demanded attention!

Just finished the grocery run and time for brunch! I've bought some fresh pieces of premium leg ham from the deli and a loaf of sourdough sandwich bread ....
