The Simplest Summer Salad

Sometimes I get so wrapped up in my favorite foodie blogs and loaded down with the latest mouth-watering food photography to magically appear on my Pinterest page that I forget to savor summer’s simplicity. This goes for every season, but summertime produce is so ripe and juicy that it begs to be separated and enjoyed in its solitary state.

In other words, sometimes you just need to slice a delicious Heirloom tomato fresh from the farmer’s market (those yummy orbs above were found at my local market this past weekend- no filter needed here folks, just nature’s best), drizzle it with olive oil and a generous pinch of sea salt and…enjoy. It’s such a duh that I forget to do it. No recipes, no food styling, just a simple tomato on a plate. Yum.

I drink it up with my new favorite rosé:

Not so much subtle and nuanced like the Provencale rosés I adore so much, but true to its Italian roots, this one’s a lively and juicy match to your tomato’s moxie. It’s inexpensive too. Hey- let’s keep it simple.
