This Greek-inspired tomato salad is packed with fresh veggies and flavor-boosting ingredients, like balsamic vinegar, Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese. This delicious salad takes just 15 minutes to make, and while you could eat it right away, it tastes even better the longer it sits, so plan to leave at least an hour of marinating time before serving.

Cherry Tomato Pasta
Jen Causey
This cherry tomato pasta is the quick summer dinner you’ve been waiting for. Chickpea pasta adds fiber, while cherry tomatoes and basil cook down to create a flavorful sauce. Tossing the hot pasta with some of the cheese before topping it with the sauce is the key to ensuring all the noodles get coated with cheesy goodness.
Caprese Sandwich

This caprese sandwich is fresh from the basil and hearty from thick, crusty ciabatta. The sun-dried tomatoes deepen the flavor. Topping the bread with a layer of basil leaves and using toasted bread helps to keep the sandwich from getting soggy if you need to make it a few hours ahead.
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.
Tostadas con Nopales y Queso Panela

This easy tostada recipe features a flavorful fresh salad made with nopales (cactus paddles) and topped with queso panela, a fresh cow’s-milk cheese. Look for it in the specialty cheese section of most large supermarkets or Latin markets. Serve the tostadas alongside carne asada or grilled chicken, or as an appetizer before your favorite Mexican meal.
Cheese Dreams with Tomatoes
Abbey Littlejohn
Cheese Dreams are nostalgic open-faced cheesy toasts—simple, satisfying and perfect for lunch. This version is inspired by a family favorite: juicy tomato slices layered under melted Cheddar cheese on crisp whole-wheat toast. Toasting the bread first keeps it from getting soggy under the tomatoes.
