I love fresh tomatoes. Just slice and serve with lots of salt,
pepper,and a little dollop of mayo. Yum.

My favorite tomato salad recipe:

* Slice the tomatoes. If they're really big, you might want to cut
the
slices in half or even quarters. Arrange on a plate.

* Drizzle some olive oil on top, sprinkle with salt and pepper

* Add some fresh garlic (I use a garlic press)

* Fresh basil

* Fresh mozzarella (the kind that's stored in water)

* Kalamata olives

Then let it sit for at least a half-hour, so all the juices soak in.


I'm looking forward to doing this with my Cherokee tomatoes when they
get ripe. They are a large slicing tomato and are Purple with some
green streaks when they are ripe. A heritage variety and
exceptionally good.
