I was lucky enough to spend a few relaxing days at our cabin this past weekend, enjoying the gorgeous weather and some much-needed time away from our usual routine.
We read, took long walks, and played Sudoku – and also enjoyed plenty of delicious food.
For many of us, the holiday weekend marks the end of summer as we slowly segue into Fall.
But, according to my calendar, summer isn’t officially over for several weeks.
While fresh produce is still abundant at the Farmer’s Market, tomatoes are something I like to take full advantage of this time of year.
As it happened, I had a surplus of tomatoes on hand this past weekend.
I wasn’t sure what to do with them, but the rustic country setting inspired me to keep things simple.
And that’s when – seemingly out of nowhere – I was suddenly reminded of my mother’s Tomato Salad.
Not only did I grow up with this salad as a summertime staple, but it was also a personal favorite.
And yet – I couldn’t remember the last time I’d eaten it!
