 The Cherokee Purple Heirloom Tomato
in the backyard has grown to 6' tall

Tomatoes on the vine earlier in the summer.

With the last 3 tomatoes of the season picked from the vine,
how in the world do you honor these last fruits?
This salad is the essence of summer
and a great way to say goodbye to the
Cherokee Purple
until next year!
