During the Summer, we love reaping what we’ve sown, especially fresh from the garden tomatoes!

Tomatoes with Basil
3 – 4 Garden Tomatoes
4 – 6 Inch Sprig of Sweet Basil
1 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon Vinaigrette or Italian Dressing
Salt and Pepper to Taste
(Sometimes I add a clove of Garlic, but not always)

Begin by removing the leaves at the bottom of the basil. Leave the top two to four leaves. (I’ll tell you why in a different post.) Coarsely chop the leaves and stir them with the vinaigrette.

Chop the tomatoes. I use the handy dandy Vidalia Chop Wizard.

Toss with basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Mmm… Fresh from the garden joy! 😉 -Marci
