Nothing beats market-fresh tomatoes in the summertime. They’re bursting with brightness and a sun-ripened sweetness that can only be enjoyed this time of year. With so much natural flavor, color, and juiciness, I prefer to let the ingredients do the talking and not manipulate them too much. Today’s recipe is a perfect example of that. But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. Your tastebuds will be surprised by its complexity of flavors that span the spectrum from spicy and sweet to zesty and tangy—all of my go-to tenets for a successful dish.
The key for this Zesty Summer Tomato Salad recipe is to use different varieties, colors, shapes, and sizes of heirloom tomatoes to create that visual eye candy when you’re layering them on the plate. And the surprise ingredient here is the toasted and crushed coriander seeds—they impart unexpected citrusy notes to the dish. I plan on making this mouthwatering salad all solstice long with the help of my trusted Material Kitchen tools that make chopping, peeling, and serving a breeze—and look good doing it, too! Yes, this is a brand that understands the concept of functional beauty.
