    7 Fresh Tomato Recipes to Make Now

    August 21, 2018 Updated: April 16, 2021 by Lisa Wells / 4 Comments

    Homegrown tomato season is in full swing. So if you're wondering what to make with fresh tomatoes, try these easy fresh tomato recipes to use your summer tomatoes. All of these homegrown tomato recipes are gluten-free, dairy-free, and paleo-friendly.
    Fresh tomato salsa, zucchini noodle pesto with cherry tomatoes, BLT salad, roasted tomatoes

    Fresh homegrown tomatoes are a summer favorite, and so are recipes using fresh tomatoes. This year I'm growing two kinds of cherry tomatoes in my garden along with fresh herbs. And finding beautiful local heirloom tomatoes at the farmers' market.

    These recipes are perfect for vine ripe tomatoes. Make a simple heirloom tomato salad for a side dish or appetizer. They are so good in a simple salad like my paleo Caprese salad with extra virgin olive oil and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

    Toss chopped tomatoes with sweet onion, lime juice, fresh cilantro, and jalapeno peppers for a simple fresh tomato salsa. Or try a pesto pasta salad made with fresh basil and roasted garlic (with zucchini pasta of course).

    Summer tomatoes are sweet, juicy and full of flavor, so now is the perfect time to take advantage of tomatoes in season. Whether cherry, grape, heirloom, or beefsteak, here are 7 fresh tomato recipes to try.
