That is the most beautiful salad I’ve ever seen. But I don’t see the avocado. Is it puréed on the bottom of the plate?

Aw, thank you! I did put some extra care in the plating, since we were having a guest over :slight_smile:

If you look closely, you will see the avocado slices throughout, tucked underneath the tomato slices. There’s one peeking out at 1pm & 2pm, a couple at 6pm, and one at 9pm :wink:

I see the avocado now! I was looking at the picture on my cell phone originally and it doesn’t matter how closely I zoomed in I still couldn’t see it. I am using my laptop now so I can see the avocado slices now. Actually all the food photos on ho are lovely. This website makes me hungry :slight_smile:

I made a batch of corn/Cubanelle pepper/tomato and grilled onion salad with the leftovers from yesterdays grill session. Added tons of garlic, fresh and roasted, and hot sauce.
I’ll use it in various applications, salads and as a “relish”. Tasty stuff.

Sliced tomatoes with I overbought at the farmers’ market salad :rofl:. Corn, green beans, tomatillos, chipotles in adobo, cilantro, basil, lime and olive oil. Actually pretty good!

“Hi, my name is Natascha & I have a tomato problem.”

I do the same thing. Caprese is on deck for tomorrow’s lunch, I think :slight_smile:

Thinking about tomato salads, I remembered this one from Melissa Clark’s book Cook This Now, which is a different take, flavor-wise, than most, and delicious. I’ve also used the dressing, minus the teaspoon of brown sugae, on watermelon to great effect.

I’d eat almost anything with a SEA dressing. A flip flop, even.

Surprised they call for a jalapeño (which are totally unreliable in terms of heat level) instead of Thai bird peppers, which would seem more appropriate in the context.

And hotter :slight_smile:
