Thanks for the post, michael. Your pics are beautiful and that type of salad is an Italian staple and so good. You have a nice twist on yours and i might add some fresh basil.

Perfect Michael! Is there anything better than a fresh tomato out of the garden?? I love this.
The vinegar mixed with the tomato juices? Wonderful.

My grandmother would make them this same way but not with the Ice. I will be using the ice from now on. High five my friend!!

Michael, This looks so good...wish my girlfriend's tomato plants were ready! LOL! Mine are pretty much gone for the year. Thanks for stopping by. Tonight I made Apple Cider Braised Pork Chops for dinner. I got the recipe from
Cook's Country magazine. It was pretty good, and my husband loved it, but don't know if I'll post it. Have a good rest of the week!
