Harvest Tomato Salad

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Home grown tomatoes are my reason for living in summer. Nothing in the whole wide world beats a home grown tomato! But, here it is, the start of Fall and time to say goodbye to our garden and tomatoes. Sad day for Sparky and me. But, when I heard there was a hard frost in the forecast, I went out and gathered all the remaining tomatoes. Green. Half ripe. Three quarters ripe and spot on! They all were invited inside to live out their days. We have not enough to can or turn into a Relish but a few too many to just eat so I looked for ways to show case their deliciousness. This Tomato Salad Bowl has been a family favorite for 30 years. I remember the first time I made this for a family gathering and my Mom could not get enough of it. Winner! So, here I have for you a recipe sure to become a family favorite. So easy. So basic. Just using the freshest ingredients for a scrumptious result.

Start with the freshest garden ripe Tomatoes
