It’s peak tomato season! While you can get tomatoes year-round, they have the best flavor during the late summer. Pick up some of these antioxidant-rich fruits and get to cooking!
Nothing tastes like summer quite like a Greek salad. Pair fresh tomatoes with crisp cucumber, salty olives and tangy onions for a bright and refreshing combination. This salad is perfect for any late-summer barbecues.
Take this classic sandwich to the next level! Grilling the bacon, charring the tomatoes and toasting the bread adds a whole new depth of flavor to the traditional BLT. Don’t forget the salt and pepper to really bring out the flavor in this tasty sandwich.
Spaghetti with fresh tomato and basil sauce
Skip the jarred sauce! Homemade tomato sauce is surprisingly easy, and it’s packed with fresh flavor that the jarred stuff just can’t compete with. Pairing it with fresh basil (which is also in season) makes for a simple but winning combination. Even the picky little kids won’t be able to resist this sauce.
This fresh tomato salsa is a summer classic, and for a good reason. Munching on crunchy tortilla chips and flavorful pico de gallo is a snack that everyone can get on board with. To really let the flavors mesh together, make this fresh salsa a day ahead and let it rest overnight before digging in (if you have the self-control).
This fancy-sounding dish is like a more sophisticated version of a pie or pizza. You’ll love biting into the flakey crust, and the cheese makes for a perfect companion to the fresh tomatoes. The biggest secret to this recipe is salting the tomatoes ahead of time (so they don’t make the crust soggy).
