Sadly, summer is just about over. It's disappointing to think that I won’t have fresh tomatoes, fragrant basil, and juicy stone fruit in great abundance. The true summer tomatoes is impossible to resist- their flavor is so much deeper than out of season tomatoes. I’ve said it before- fresh tomatoes need nothing more than a drizzle of good olive oil and some fleur de sel and fresh ground pepper. Yum. But, if you’re looking for more than just a quick snack, make a meal with tomatoes as the stars of the show. It’s a good way to savor the last of this season’s bounty.Our website has lots of recipes featuring tomatoes, which would work for any time of day. Try adding chopped tomatoes to omelets, or top a piece of thick toast with a fried egg, a slice of tomatoes and shredded Tillamook cheddar for an upscale egg sandwich. For lunch, try a tasty “antipasto” bread salad, with lots of fresh vegetables, herbs and Italian cured meats. You can toss cooked pasta with corn, tomatoes, herbs and vinaigrette for the perfect lunch (it’s even better with a generous amount of parmesan cheese…) for lunch or a light dinner.
No matter how you choose to enjoy the summer tomatoes, make sure you get them while they last!
