I can’t get enough of tomatoes when they are fresh and in season! I am anxiously awaiting my neighbor’s Roma Tomatoes. He will be picking them this weekend and delivering a huge basket to me. I am a lucky neighbor! When I roast them they are absolutely addictive (see below for recipe).
My brother-in-law also has a fabulous garden with a variety of different tomatoes. I can’t wait for next weekend when he will generously share his tomato crop with me.
9 Tomato Recipes Worth Trying
I never lack inspiration for how to serve my tomatoes. I want to make every one of these tomato recipes. How about you?
Avocado & Tomato Bruschetta with Balsamic Reduction
Kick off your end of summer party with this colorful Avocado & Tomato Bruschetta from Damn Delicious. I agree with her. You will want to make a meal out of this appetizer.
Heirloom Tomato Cups
Some photos don’t need much of a description and this is one of them. Salty Parmesan Bowls and Heirloom Tomato Salad. Oh my! Enough said, don’t you agree?
Tomato, Onion, and Roasted Lemon Salad
via The View From Great Island
The colors in this Tomato, Onion, and Roasted Lemon Salad are so bright and scream fresh! This salad found on The View from Great Islands has a few unique ingredients. The salad has roasted lemons and the dressing has pomegranate molasses and allspice. I can’t wait to try it! You can find the pomegranate molasses at Trader Joes.
Summer Tomato and Sun Dried Tomato Basil Salad
I was drawn to this salad from Not Quite Nigella. The ingredients include roasted and fresh tomatoes and the toasted Lebanese bread which soaks up the delicious dressing.
Garlic Grilled Tomatoes
After grilling your entrée, keep the grill fired up for these juicy Garlic Grilled Tomatoes from Proud Italian Cook.
Tomato Pie
If you are more into savory than sweet, you will love this Tomato Pie from Home is Where the Boat Is.
Caprese Tart
Almost everyone seems to love Caprese Salads. Add puff pastry to the mix for a Caprese Tart and OMG! Again, enough said.
Oven Roasted Tomatoes
Last year I shared a post on How to Slow Roast Tomatoes. I’ve said it before and I will say it again. These. Are. Addictive. I can truly eat a whole tray as soon as they come out of the oven. They caramelize and are so sweet and delicious. If you can restrain yourself, there are so many recipes that you can use them in from pasta, salads, bruschetta and more.
Classic BLT
In my opinion, the only decision you should make when it comes to a BLT is whether to slice your sandwich on the diagonal or into rectangles. BLT’s are best made on toasted white bread and the simple ingredients of crispy bacon, lettuce, fresh summer tomatoes and mayonnaise. This is one of our favorite ways to enjoy delicious summer tomatoes.
