Colorful Heirloom Salad
I came home with a bag full of various heirloom tomatoes after my latest What is Fresh farm visit to Stokes Farm. These beauties were at their peak of flavor, so we wanted a creative way to eat them that very night. After a quick look through our fridge and pantry, we discovered leftover cucumbers and red onion, perfect partners for a simple summer salad.
This heirloom tomato salad recipe is from Clean Food. In addition to cucumbers and red onion, Terry Walters’ recipe uses avocado and a basic red wine vinaigrette. This salad was simple, fresh, and filling–with absolutely zero cooking involved! Just for fun, I also added a few husk tomatoes.
