this sounds too simple but it is delicious – cut up tomatoes, vinegar, a touch of olive oil and salt and pepper. Use italian bread to dip into the tomato salad – Incredible!!!

My favorite tomato dish is a simple, classic BLT and a garden grown tomato takes this dish over the top! The quality of bread (yes, even Wonder will do), bacon (as long as it’s crispy), or lettuce (preference is leaf but even iceberg will do)—-but a flavorful tomato makes a BLT my favorite comfort food!

Best tomatoe dish I’ve had and I also make it with yummy heirloom tomatoes. A summer salad of heirloom tomatoes, watermelon, basil, feta cheese with some extra virgin olive oil, balsamic and a crack of pepper! So yummy & refreshing at summer BBQs!

A sprinkle of salt, maybe a drizzle of olive oil, on perfectly ripe tomatoes just picked from my boyfriend’s (later to be husband’s) garden in San Jose. Simple. Fresh. Oozing with sweet summertime juices. There was nothing more surprisingly delicious to me than that first bite of a homegrown tomato. For the first 25 years of my life, I had only eaten supermarket tomatoes, picked unripe and gassed to become red. Those were flavorless orbs compared to my boyfriend’s tomatoes. Tomatoes like that didn’t need fancy preparation or even any cooking at all — just a touch of salt to bring out their amazing natural flavors. Now, every summer, I wait in mouth-watering anticipation for that plate of ripe, freshly picked, homegrown tomatoes. Best tomato dish. Ever.
