This is a summery dish and a great way to use all those gorgeous tomatoes. I like to use heirloom yellow and orange varieties, but it works with any large, hearty tomato. Avoid varieties like plum or cherry tomatoes for this dish, as their shape and texture don't stand up well to presentation. Read more See less
