Would you believe me if I told you this was a chocolate tomato? That is what a farmer told me this week at the farmer’s market. Like a chocolate sucker, I bought it.
I did double check Google, just to make sure I was not really a chocolate sucker.
There is such a thing as a chocolate tomato. There is also such a thing as a chocolate tomato bar, tomato chocolate cake and chocolate spice tomato soup cupcakes. I am now curious to know what the combination chocolate and tomato tastes like, when I finally try it, I will let you know.
Anyhow, I wanted to share with you my favorite easy way to have tomato’s.
Tomato Salad
1 1/2 pounds tomato’s, cut into wedges
salt
pepper
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons olive oil
chives
basil
Season tomato wedges with salt and pepper. Cook balsamic vinegar and brown sugar in a small skillet over medium heat until reduced by half. Remove from heat and whisk in olive oil. Drizzle over tomatoes and add snipped chives and basil. Yum!

Have a good week!
Yummy! Fresh tomatoes are delish!
So good. We also had a tomato that was a little spicy… I wish I could remember what it was called. Thanks for coming by!
Yum!! Fresh tomatoes are amazing things. I have had chocolate tomatoes and they are oh so good. BTW, great recipe.
I just met someone that has an avocado tree in her backyard… a little jealous. She says she eats tomatos and avocados all the time. Have a good day!
I would be jealous too. Wouldn’t that be the coolest thing? I would love to have a fig tree as well.
I have not had a fig in the longest time! We had fruit trees at our last house and loved it. And fruit trees in your garden?
It’s the first time I heard of such. Looks really good!
They are a type of heirloom tomatoes… soooo good.
