When I picked this bright red bush tomato, the kids were oohing & aahing with excitement! They were right. What a beautiful red color! This was a show-stopper right here! We couldn't possibly dice it up and cook it.
It just felt wrong.
Instead, we dressed it up a bit & made this delicious salad, perfect for hot summer days, though we honestly could have devoured it plain! The kids did as I sliced away.
I'm always amazed at how much sweeter and juicer fruits & veggies are that are grown organically at home & picked at their prime. I totally see why tomatoes are classified as a fruit!
The capers, fresh basil & vinaigrette paired beautifully with the luscious tomato! With a few simple ingredients, this was a flavor explosion for all our senses!
