A bowl full of summer


I was at a restaurant the other night and ordered a salad. Alongside of the of the nicely dressed greens and lightly seared Ahi Tuna were three round slabs of tomato. I'd say they were about 4" in diameter, pink and firm like Styrofoam. Don't even bother.

What we have here however, are three tiny tomatoes that have been waiting patiently on the deck for the perfect moment of ripeness. They span the summer spectrum of red to yellow all in the same fruit, and are firm and juicy at the same time.
Seasoned with some kosher salt, cracked pepper and a side of mayo, it's a sweet bowl full of summer sunshine.
