While a lot of farms around here have been hit with blight and tomato crops have been wiped out completely, we are still getting a good amount of beautiful heirloom tomatoes.  It’s the months of flavorless, cardboard-tasting tomatoes that make one truly appreciate the delicious and sweet taste of fresh summer tomatoes.  We got lots of heirloom tomatoes this week and we’ve been enjoying tomato salads nearly every night.  We also made a super-easy tomato and peach salad, which I found in this list of 101 Simple Salads by Mark Bittman (see #2).  The best thing about this list is the unique flavor combinations made from simple ingredient lists (like shredded carrots and blueberries, for example).
