fruitstand
I was out in Vista the other day and I ran across a small farm with a fruit stand in front. I stopped in and scored 4 Sepotes, 14 oranges, 14 tangerines, 5 balm red peppers, 8 Romas, one eggplant, and one huge heirloom tomato all for only $6. Everything was grown on their small farm. The tomatoes and peppers were grown in a green house, but everything else was in season. I’m gonna try to find other small local farms to pick up my stuff straight from the source.
I finely sliced that huge tomato with one of the peppers and a little bit of onion to make a sweet tomato salad. It was dressed with one lime and some white balsamic vinegar. Using white balsamic vinegar is perfect for vegetable salads because it doesn’t discolor everything, and it tastes good.
