It's tomato season. I've been dying to get a tomato that actually tastes like a tomato and isn't all gross inside. I have yet to find one.
This week I decided to go ahead and spend the $$ for heirloom tomatoes. I found a veggie stand not that far from my house a couple of weeks ago and bought my heirlooms from them. And surprisingly not as expensive as I thought.
This is a refreshing recipe. It's delicious. The brine from the dill pickle relish really makes the dish. It's just dill enough without being too dill.
I served this along Steak Fingers that you can find the recipe for here.
