This weeks farmers market was filled with tomatoes! All shapes and sizes were represented with a ton of heirloom varietals. The vast array of tomatoes inspired me to make a salad that really celebrates the season. These tomatoes are easily twice as good as anything you could find at the supermarket and worth seeking out. For this recipe the more colors, the more variety, the better your salad will look and taste. My suggestion is to visit the local farmers market or even better, pick some tomatoes from your own garden. Tomatoes from Florida ripened with ethylene gas just aren't going to cut it here. One taste of this salad and you're sure to be making it again and again. Here are a few shots from Sunday morning at our Denver Farmers Market:
