Make This Now: Smoky and Sweet Tomato Salad
August 28, 2010

I have an addiction, one that can only be indulged for a few weeks every year. Heirloom tomatoes rule my kitchen late in the summertime. I could wax poetic all day about the heirloom tomato, but instead I will give you a “hardly recipe” for a lovely simple salad. |

This recipe was inspired by the lovely haricot verts, or French green beans, that showed up at the market a few weeks ago. Haricot verts are more tender than regular green beans and are perfectly suited for summer salads. I love the smokiness imparted by the Black Forest bacon, which also has less fat than regular bacon, and there’s just enough here to satisfy a craving for something a little sinful. |

At the farmers market I usually end up buying too much of something, and the frittata is a cooking trick I use to get it all eaten up before it goes bad. It’s stupid easy to prepare, and you can make it fancy or keep it simple. |
