Who could resist? Every Tuesday I get one of these crates full of the most beautiful assortment of heirloom tomatoes at Vaison's Provençal market. We are suffering a real heat wave here in Provence right now so this is the perfect summer food - cut up into a colorful summer salad, served with mozzarella or burrata, black basil cut into a chiffonnade, our own, very best olive oil, some sea salt and pepper fresh from the mill. Summer bliss!
Perfect Summer Lunch
heaven!!!
ReplyDeleteGuess what Joyce? We will have it again for lunch today.
DeleteYum! I remember the lovely tomatoes we had last summer in Provence! Looks like I'll miss out this year since we are now down under. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure - can't wait to read about your culinary discoveries there.
DeleteWhat a great assortment of heirloom tomatoes. I can imagine how good they would taste for lunch. Hopefully, your heat wave has ended and you are enjoying slightly more temperate weather. Hope all is well.
ReplyDeleteWe had a slight heat break in the form of Mistral for two days Michel but now it again is hot, hot, hot.
DeleteBarbara, summer bliss indeed! What better way to enjoy the bounty of perfect heirloom summer tomatoes than to prepare a beautiful and utterly delicious tomato salad like this - served this way, tomatoes really shine!
