Summer Tomato Salad with Brie and Bermuda Onion

Mary Anne here. Tomatoes are reportedly in season here, but again, given the recent spate of rainstorms, local tomatoes have yet to make an appearance at my local green grocer. Not to be discouraged, I opted for grape tomatoes, which were on sale for $2 a pint and I dressed them up with a bit of Brie, yellow pepper, chopped walnuts, and Bermuda onion. While not as sweet as summer tomatoes, I was very “comforted” by this hearty meal and it paired beautifully with the Farfalle, Fontina and Leek recipe we posted yesterday.

If you’re lucky enough to have fresh local tomatoes, swap out the grape tomatoes for your own slice of summer! I estimate that three large tomatoes would be the equivalent to the produce in this recipe.

    I, envy you. Your blog is much better under the maintenance and design than mine. Who to you the design did?
