The inevitable has occurred over the last few weeks. After planting and caring for eight different types of tomatoes all summer, the plants have exploded. Tomato overload is a real thing, but its nothing we will complain about. After all, nothing compares to a vine fresh tomato with a little bit of sea salt.

That being said, you can’t only have tomatoes this way…or I suppose you could. But consider the following ideas if you need a quick weeknight dinner. All you need is some pesto, tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and if you want to go the sandwich route, some high quality focaccia.

If you want to skip the bread altogether, and have a simple caprese salad, just omit the bread, cut the tomatoes into a variety of shapes, such as wedges, cut up the mozzarella into little chunks and toss with enough pesto to coat nicely. We let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to really absorb the flavors, and serve. So simple, but I can’t imagine anything else that truly tastes like summer.

Here it is. No fuss, incredibly easy, and tastes like summer.
