On your next trip to the farmers' market look for the Grandma's Pick tomatoes and baby arugula. Then, you can make one of the great salads of summer. It's something we look forward to this time of year.
Here's what Grandma's Pick will look like on the farm stand. These are from Atlas Farm.
We had baby arugula from Old Friends Farm and a lovely tomato from Atlas.
And, we turned it into a wonderful salad where the tomato concasse becomes the dressing.
Penny posted the preparation for this a couple of years ago, and it's become a very popular post.
