fried green tomato salad

 

Nothing says summer to me more than tomatoes.  Love them.  Could eat them for just about every meal every day they are available – as long as – that availability is from the homegrown garden.  To say that I am really picky about my tomatoes is a REAL understatement.

 

Unfortunately, the past two summers have not been kind to the home garden.  DROUGHT is not a friendly word to gardeners anywhere.  Tomatoes do not set their blooms if the night temperatures do not dip below 70 degrees, so even though we did set a few…you know our friends the groundhogs got them before we did.

 

I will buy green tomatoes in the grocery when I won’t buy beefsteaks.  If you’re from the South, you know about fried green tomatoes.  Enuf said.  If you hail from other parts, come on over for this salad.  I guarantee you will become a fan. We eat this as a meal.
