One of my absolute favorite things to eat in the summer is a fresh tomato salad. We all have our versions of this but I wanted to share my favorite way. I mince a clove of garlic, a few tomatoes, fresh basil, sea salt and olive oil. WOW. Swoon. This salad is in all my dreams of summer.
I wanted to show you my first tomato of the season. I think I am remembering it, April Wine. As my CSA farmer informed me and I think we realized this a few years ago after losing a few tomatoes to rot, is that heirloom tomatoes look not ripe when they really are.
If you feel adventurous and have not had it, add a bit of allspice to your tomato salad. I never thought this would taste good but I saw it in a recipe from the book,
Aromas of Aleppo. So good. You really must try it.
