Monday Morning in the Kitchen: Yellow Pear Tomato Salad


My yellow pear tomato plant--my ONE yellow pear tomato plant--produces a seemingly never-ending supply of tomatoes.  I've been searching for recipes to use them up, and found this one that looked promising.  I've adapted it slightly.  It's quick, simple, and delicious.  I think next time I make it I will add chopped fresh parsley as well.

Yellow Pear Tomato Salad

6 cups yellow pear tomatoes
salt and pepper to taste
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/4 c. sour cream
3 T snipped basil leaves
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced

Wash the tomatoes and place in bowl.  Combine other ingredients and slowly pour over tomatoes.  (The dressing will make more than is needed.) Toss gently.  Serve remaining dressing at table if desired.

Do you have any yellow pear tomato recipes to share?  I have more tomatoes.

Thanks for abundance.

    I love to eat the little pear tomatoes as snacks. It didn't occur to me to use them in a salad.

It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Valentine's Day is in Spring Edition

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
