I am a connoisseur of tomatoes. I could live on tomatoes. This Summer I grew 6 varieties of tomatoes in my small space: Oregon Star, Oregon Spring, Green Zebra, Taxi, Sungold and Yellow Pear. Sungold was by far my favorite tomato for stupendous taste. Sungolds rarely made it into the house as I happily snacked (gorged myself!) on them while watering the garden. Oregon Star won for not only the size of the slicers which had good flavor, but also the production & yield was mind-blowing! Once tomatoes ripen, Caprese Salad is a staple for me Summer through Fall. It's so simple and captures the quintessential Summer garden flavors in one juicy perfect bite. There's really not even a real recipe for this salad. Honestly, it's perfection is it's simplicity. Garden fresh tomatoes & basil, fresh mozzarella, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. My friend Katy P puts Caprese Salad on toasted french bread and calls this "Summer Food." I call it "finger licking good!" It's the best. Enjoy it now before Summer & her gorgeous tomatoes slip away until next year!
Full of Tomato Love,
