YOU SAY TOMATO!

Family Features

There’s nothing like a juicy, ripe tomato to wake up a recipe and put a smile on your face. And tomatoes’ versatility means that you can enjoy them in a wide range of dishes that make friends and family smile, too.

“Florida tomatoes have been the inspiration for many of my most treasured recipes,” said Chef Justin Timineri, Executive Chef and Culinary Ambassador, Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. “But honestly, my side dish of choice — the simple joy of fresh raw Florida tomatoes seasoned with a sprinkle of sea salt.”

Chef Justin has created these recipes that maximize that fresh-off-the-vine taste and minimize your time in the kitchen.
