Tomato abundance time is definitely here! San marzanos (romas), rebelskis (slicers), and sakuras (cherries) are all ripening steadily now. It's that time of year when we're astounded daily by the bounty of our harvest. We're bringing in hundreds of pounds of tomatoes, cucumbers, summer squash, cabbages, carrots, peppers, and more every harvest day.
At home, we're on the tomato toast train, a simple meal of buttered toast topped with sliced tomatoes, prepared while snacking on fresh cucumbers. Another simple dish? Salad with chopped scallions, parsley, basil, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and a drizzle of apple balsamic vinegar. Simple is the key word here. Think meal assembly, not so much cooking. While we love cooking more complicated meals in the winter, in the heat of summer with so much going on, it's the quick, fresh, and simple that wins out every time.
