I can’t think of a better way to celebrate summer than homegrown, ripe, juicy tomatoes. I think we can all agree store bought tomatoes in the winter are tasteless and expensive. Its been a hot summer here on the west coast and my tomatoes are out of control. I made a version of this salsa, plan on making a couple of batches of this tomato sauce, and can’t wait to make this tomato soup. I love summer.
With the weather being so hot we have been eating a lot of salads like this refreshing watermelon and feta salad and this kale salad with french lentils. Now we have a tomato panzanella salad made with fresh tomatoes, basil, stale baguette.
