Make the best fresh tomato salad using Jersey tomatoes! Keep a batch in the fridge, once the tomatoes are gone, use the oil for salads and more!
I don’t know if Jersey tomato salad is a thing to anyone else but it’s sacred to me and I wanted to share it with you.
When you grow up in Philadelphia, PA, you spend a good portion of the year looking forward to Jersey tomato season. Then, for a magical couple of weeks smack in the middle of a properly hot and humid East Coast summer, you do nothing but eat Jersey tomatoes. And, maybe hit the pool or the beach.
I grew up with this amazing tomato salad recipe, and now summer just isn’t complete without it. The ripe and juicy tomatoes soaked in oil and coated in salt and pepper, its a simple yet tasty snack any tomato lover will go crazy over.
