33 Fresh and Juicy Summer Tomato Recipes, Right This Way! (1)

We tend to take tomatoes for granted since they’re available year ‘round, but peak tomato season — when they’re at their juiciest and most flavorful — is worth celebrating. The best tomato recipes are ones that show ‘em off (like gorgeous multi-colored tomato tarts) and use them up before they go bad (and so you can acquire your next stash!) Not just delicious, there are tons of tomato health benefits, so don’t hesitate to load up on them the next time you see a colorful pile. And if you have even a little bit of sunny outdoor space, maybe it’s time to think about growing tomatoes: It’s hard to beat biting into a vine-ripened beauty that you’ve grown yourself. So go ahead and make the most of these vibrant summer jewels with this collection of recipes for fresh vegetarian dinners (some for meat-eaters, too), surprising sides and even a co*cktail!
