Melting Cherry Tomato & Mozzarella Pasta
Ali Redmond
This simple yet delicious pasta dish combines cherry tomatoes with mozzarella, highlighting their natural sweetness and the mozzarella’s creamy, gooey texture. Mozzarella pearls are the perfect size for mixing into the finished dish. If you can’t find them, chopped fresh mozzarella will work well too.
Cucumber, Tomato & Avocado Salad with Lemon-Shallot Vinaigrette
Ali Redmond
Crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes and creamy avocado create a delicious contrast in this easy salad. Tossed with a zesty lemon-shallot vinaigrette, this salad is bright, tangy and perfectly balanced. It’s best served right away, as the cucumbers tend to release water over time, which can dilute the vinaigrette.
Slow-Roasted Tomatoes
Slowly cooking summer-ripe tomatoes in a low oven makes them candy-sweet. Turn to this recipe to preserve the summer bounty from your garden or farmers market; it freezes well for up to six months. Tuck these tasty bites into sandwiches, stir them into risotto or chop them and mix with Kalamata olives, olive oil and fresh herbs to scoop up with pita chips.
Shakshuka (Eggs Poached in Spicy Tomato Sauce)
This tomato toast is ideal for showcasing sweet, fresh heirloom tomatoes at their summer peak. Topped with a smooth, creamy cream cheese mixture infused with fresh herbs like chives and dill, this recipe highlights the best of seasonal flavors. While we love dill and chives, any soft herb can be used in their place.
Scallops & Cherry Tomatoes with Caper-Butter Sauce
These pan-seared scallops come together in just 20 minutes for a delicious, easy dinner. You'll want some whole-wheat angel hair pasta or polenta to sop up all the rich, briny sauce.
The Best Tomato Sandwich to Make All Summer Long
This classic tomato sandwich features a lovely combination of sweet juicy tomatoes and herby cream cheese. You can make a big batch of the cream cheese mixture and have it on hand to spread on bagels or crackers. For a boost of protein, add smoked salmon or sliced turkey or chicken.
Herbed Tomato Gratin
Vegetable gratin recipes often have a crunchy breadcrumb or crouton topping. But summer tomatoes are too gorgeous to hide, so we tucked crusty cubes of bread underneath them instead. Plus, the bread soaks up all the juicy tomato goodness. If you can't find marjoram, fresh basil or oregano makes a good substitute.
Grilled Flank Steak with Tomato Salad
Cutting the steak immediately after cooking breaks all the rules on meat cookery, but in this recipe we do it intentionally in order to capture the juices and incorporate them into the dressing. Serve this grilled flank steak recipe with crusty bread to soak up the deliciousness.
Grilled Chicken Breasts with Tomato-Caper Sauce
This healthy grilled chicken breast recipe--a twist on chicken piccata--features a creamy white-wine-and-caper pan sauce that gets a burst of summer flavor from fresh grape tomatoes and basil. Pounding the chicken prior to grilling ensures even cooking and makes this easy dinner even faster. The piccata sauce would also be great with shrimp, firm white fish or pork.
Avocado Caprese Salad
This avocado caprese salad has all the flavors of a classic caprese salad, plus creamy avocado. The sweet and tangy balsamic dressing pulls everything together, with fresh basil bringing a refreshing pop of color. Add capers for an even bigger flavor.
Tomato Toast with Herbed Cream Cheese

A fresh tomato-and-basil topping on panko-crusted chicken cutlets makes an easy meal for family or casual entertaining.

Tomato-Cucumber Salad with Whipped Feta

The feta and cream cheese whip up into a smooth and creamy dip topped with summer-ripe tomatoes and cucumber. Each bite keeps you coming back for more! Opt for feta in brine for the best texture, as pre-crumbled feta tends to lack moisture and can make the dip grainy.
