{NEW} Rachel’s Garden Ripened Cherry Tomato Salad ??
As a young girl I’d often take the salt shaker out to the garden and enjoy a full belly of fresh-from-the-vine, still warm from the sun, tomatoes.
What wonderful memories of Summertime!
This year we have a plethora of garden tomatoes planted, including lots of cherry tomatoes, so that our children can enjoy those same experiences.
Any tomatoes left on the vines will be made into this EXTREMELY SIMPLE, but don’t let it fool you, *COMPLETELY DELICIOUS*, Tomato Salad.
If you didn’t plant your own this year, the Farmer’s Market’s are also a great place to grab some vine ripened, local tomatoes.
Make this ahead of time for your BBQ’S and get-togethers!
