Summer Sungolds

While most people may be feasting on heirloom tomatoes this time of year, I'm most excited when these little jewels show up: Sun Gold tomatoes. The orange-colored jewels have the perfect blend of sweetness and intense tomato flavor, making them one of the my favorite summer snacks.

I apologize for not attaching a recipe today, but how about a few ideas on using Sun Gold tomatoes instead?
  1. Top toasted bread with herbed ricotta cheese, halved Sun Gold tomatoes, and a drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Fold quartered Sun Golds into your next grain salad for a colorful hit of orange-y goodness.
  3. Toss a pint or two of cut Sun Golds with a minced garlic clove and olive oil and let it sit for an hour. Add some hot pasta, fresh mozzarella cubes, and enough pasta water for an easy summer pasta.
  4. Mix with fresh uncooked corn and avocado and serve as a relish or salsa.
  5. Cube up some zucchini, toss with whole Sun Golds and olive oil, and bake with Parmesan and some fresh crumbs on top for an easy gratin side dish.

Love this! I often grow sungolds and sunsugars in Florida. My 3 year old likes them so much he eats them right off the vine before I can harvest any!
