It’s Your Life
I’m assuming that you’re ready to go out and
buy some tomatoes, but first, a few tips before
you go:
• Choose tomatoes that are a deep, rich
color.
• Ripe tomatoes will yield slightly to pressure
and have a sweet fragrance.
• Choose tomatoes with no bruises, cuts, or
soft spots.
• Cold temperatures impede their ripening
process, so store them at
room temperature away from
direct sunlight.
• To find a larger variety
of tomatoes, shop at your
local farmer’s market.
Now that you’ve got your
tomatoes, I’ll leave you with
my very favorite tomato
recipe, Tomato Mango Salsa.
This recipe is perfect for
spring and summer. It is light and refreshing and
can be served as a dip, a cold soup, or even a
salad dressing.
Ingredients:
3 large tomatoes
1 mango (my favorite variety for this recipe
is Ataulfo)
1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, diced
1 small avocado, diced
¼ C cilantro, roughly 6
