The unofficial official start to summer! And to me that means peak tomato season is approaching but not fast enough. Tomatoes in their prime are like sweet berries that burst in your mouth with juice running down your chin. Pile them in your shirt-basket and try to get inside before eating them all. A little dirt doesn’t bother me!

My preferred tomato salad formula:
- Heirloom tomato, yellow & red grapes, cherry tomatoes, and cocktail tomatoes.
- white balsamic vinegar
- a nice quality extra Virgin olive oil
- cracked black pepper & kosher salt or Himalayan salt
- honey / optional
