Fresh summer tomato recipes

Serious Mealtimes / Amanda Suarez

It’s no exaggeration to say that fresh tomatoes aren’t even worth buying for most of the year. Out of season almost all fresh tomatoes are bland mealy and watery. That’s why we recommend using canned tomatoes for our winter soups and stews. But in the summer it’s a different story: farmers markets are full of beautifully ripe flavorful tomatoes. To make the most of this magical time of year try a few easy recipes that really bring out the tangy-sweet flavor of a great tomato. Here are 34 to get you started including a classic Caprese salad (no balsamic please) a few gazpachos and the classic BLT. Want to be fully prepared for this year’s tomato season?
