Ideas for serving and cooking with the many types of heirloom tomatoes.
I’m hoping you’re not tomato-ed out yet! Today, I want to share a little info & inspiration about a few heirloom tomato varieties. (These are the ones I used in last week’s salad). They have such fun names, don’t they?
And for more recipe ideas, check out the Whole Foods heirloom tomato pinboard that I’ve been pinning to over the last few weeks:

with fresh mozzarella and a bit of balsamic.
In my family, we eat them with every single meal. While I do love them with everything, nothing but nothing beats the perfect deliciousness of a simple tomato sandwich.
Roasted if the weather is cool, but at this point in August…….sliced, a dash of salt, pepper and balsamic….all wrapped up in a lettuce leaf with a slice of fresh avocado! perfection!
I love thick slices of tomato on top of garlic bread sprinkled with olive oil and feta cheese. I went to Laguna Beach in socal the other day and they had heirloom tomato flavored gelato. How funny!
fresh salsa. or just a bit of sea salt!
I love them on pizza!
Sliced with salt, plain and simple.
On a Vegetarian pizza with Mozzarella pearls!
My favorite way to eat heirloom tomatoes is on warm toast rubbed with garlic and topped with avocado and burrata. Yum!
I’m not sure if I’m the only one, and this might seem silly, but if I get tomatoes that are really good with just the right balance of sweet, tangy, and savory, and I eat them like apples. I also sometimes like to chill them and cut them into slices and eat them plain. 🙂
With a little bit of ricotta, basil, olive oil, pepper, and some chunky sea salt! Oh my, so delicious.
oh boy, who could pick a favorite way? i worship the tomato. roasted, fried, grilled or sauteed. i guess, like most, my favorite method is also the easiest. a perfect garden-picked tomato, sliced, with salt. tastes like summer.
Sliced, with burrata, basil leaves, salt & pepper & balsamic vinegar reduction drizzled over the top! Heavenly!!
Sliced with salt and pepper.
I eat sun golds constantly since that is what we have planted. Lately I have been loving white balsamic and pesto on any and all heirlooms!
i love them in a good panzanella salad!
i love an heirloom tomato sliced with some good evoo, salt, pepper & fresh basil..so amazing! good oil really brings out an heirloom’s natural freshness & sweetness.
I love heirloom tomatoes with salt, pepper and some yummy mayo sandwiched in French bread.
The way my Dad taught me: thickly sliced over fresh bread with mayo, salt and pepper. Best summer meal ever.
What a wonderful giveaway!!
I love greek salad 🙂 tomatoes, cucumber, olives, red onion, feta cheeze and olive oil. Yummm
