It’s all you need for a summertime dish.
A lil’ drizzle here n’ there.
It’s delish atop fresh summer green salads, grilled veggies and even a nice bowl of fresh fruit. Yes, fresh fruit. Why not drizzle a bit atop a bowl of fresh cantaloupe and melon with raspberries. Sounds pleasant, doesn’t it?
I snapped these pictures yesterday with my tomato plants in view so you can get a lil’ view of my nice fresh tomato plants that are starting to pop up nice n’ ruby red.
I used my fresh Jersey garden tomatoes in this recipe and it was amazing.
I think I consumed about 20 tomatoes this weekend.
I made this dressing about 4 times and enjoyed it all weekend long.
It’s a new favorite.
And it’s fresh, of course.
So, what’s not to love?
Summer freshness, summer flavor, summer lovin’ in every bite.
It’s as simple as that.
Drizzle, drizzle.

Thanks so much, Courtney…Oooo enjoy those tomatoes; I’m jealous. Keep cool in this heat wave!
Amie!
It was so great to meet you on ‘the shore’ this past week. I’ve had fun browsing blog – so many great recipes. I thought of you the other day when I went to a raw restaurant, ate dense nutty meals, and had the worst stomach afterwards. I think I had a really hard time digesting all of those nuts. Interesting.
Hope you had a good rest of the weekend and hopefully I’ll see you again soon. I’ll definitely be popping into the-healthy-apple on a daily basis!
Thank you, Talley! So great to hear from you. You are fabulous and I am so excited to read your blog! Such a pleasure meeting you this weekend on our bike ride and I truly hope to see you again soon. Keep me posted when you are back in the states as I’d love to see you. Have a great day and looking forward to keep in touch. So happy we met!
