Sunset Garden Medley Tomato Salad
Sunset Produce is a pioneer and industry leader in the gourmet greenhouse industry bringing the world's most interesting flavors to every table year round and love using their gourmet tomatoes inspired by flavor. I learned to make this summer salad on one of our many trips to Italy, the farmhouse that became our second home was never short of fresh inspiration, and on a hot summer day, this salad refreshes and satisfies with very little effort.
Sunset Produce has a contagious passion for flavor that shines in their unique Campari tomato that offers this salad an exquisite flavor blend and takes me right back to those Italian holidays.
