Let me introduce you to the salad I have been making all summer long! We have a cherry tomato plant in my garden that won’t quit, I think that’s why the variety is called 10,000 cherry or something like that. Every other day I pick two pints full of the most juicy, sweetest tomatoes. I had to get creative and find different ways to add them in to our meals without it feeling like, ugh, not tomatoes again. I have also been hooked on the sweet summer corn and peaches we’ve been picking up every week from our local farmers market. So it was a no brainer to throw them all into a bowl together. The salad first started out with just tomatoes, basil, red onion, corn, evoo and a little lemon juice but then the peach and poblano pepper got jealous and joined the party. Both ways are equally delicious. Here is the super simple recipe I hope you try and keep in your recipe arsenal. Fair well summer, till next year!

After taking my mom to the very crowed Multnomah Falls, we drove to one of my favorite organic u-pick farms, Hood River U-Pick. It’s apple season. We picked apples the size of my head, we laughed until our faces hurt AND we played with farm animals. It was a good day.
