This simple salad celebrates different varieties of tomato, has rich and tasty tomato salad dressing and is perfect for lunch on a hot summer day.

Tomatoes are now coming into season and what better way to eat them with a simple tomato salad with a tomato dressing?   Tomatoes are best enjoyed picked fresh from the plant when they are still warm and sun drenched.  In the summer Ed and I eat bowls of ripe cherry tomatoes like sweets, there are far worse snacking habits to have, and we enjoy them as much as we can during the season.

If you can possibly avoid it, never put tomatoes in the fridge, it will rob them of both their flavour and fragrance. and even when they are back to room temperature it never fully returns.

One of my favourite ways to eat tomatoes (part from snacking on cherry tomatoes), is in a sandwich – thin slices of well buttered white bread, sliced tomatoes and a sprinkling of salt.    Perfection, but not terribly transportable, or suitable to prep ahead.    My second choice is this tomato salad, with a rich tomato dressing, which is suitable for picnics and packed lunches.   Slice the tomatoes and prepare the dressing a few hours in advance, and then mix when you are read to eat.   Serve it alongside a quiche.  Use as many different types of tomatoes as you can, variety is the spice of life after all!

    Some serious drool happening here. Thanks for sharing. Nova Scotia is a little late with tomatoes, but I am starting to see them at the market. This is one salad I’ll be trying soon.

    Your tomato salad looks terrific. I live in the US in the South, so we are definitely partial to our tomatoes. Until recently, I grew up to 33 different varieties of heirlooms and do really miss having them. Grandchildren took priority over garden, so it’s not a huge sacrifice:) I’m enjoying reading your blog and will be back. Thanks for sharing. I would love for you to join me at diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com for Crock Pot Wednesday.

    Oh, I’ve never heard of Higgidy. Need to try this brand soon!

    Also, nothing like a good tomato salad. I enjoy eating mine as a side to rice and beans and a protein, the Brazilian way! ;-)

    As for the storage of tomatoes, I was just reading an article by Daniel Gritzer from Serious Eats, saying that this rule only applies if your room temperature is under 70F, as the ideal storage temperature for tomatoes is between 50 to 70 degrees. Since it’s almost 100 here in NY, my tomatoes are in the fridge. Otherwise I will be tossing them in a day or so!

      That is really interesting about the temperature to store them at. Mine often come chilled with my supermarket delivery. So annoying.
