In Ohio, the summer offers many wonderful foods grown from our gardens! Some of my favorites include strawberries, corn and tomatoes.
Our locally grown tomatoes can be flavorful, juicy and have a delightful fresh aroma. Plain slices of tomatoes, or even a slice on a grilled cheese sandwich can be enjoyable. One of my favorite recipes includes some Ohio tomatoes and is handy for a quick meal or a cookout.
Lindy’s Summer Salad
Cut up Romaine lettuce and place in a large bowl. Chop up those yummy Ohio tomatoes, and add to the bowl. Sprinkle in two cups of grated cheddar cheese. Stir in one can of drained kidney beans. Just before serving, mix in one bottle of Catalina French dressing. Finish the dish by adding small Frito corn chips, that can be crushed if you prefer.
There are so many ways to prepare these delicious summertime foods! What’s one of your favorite recipes?
