\"\"Make the most of tomato season with these fresh tips.<\/p>\n

1. Season Your Tomatoes <\/strong><\/p>\n

Tomatoes love three things in life: salt, fat, and herbs. If you\u2019re skipping that first step, you\u2019re missing out on one of summer\u2019s best gifts, because salt makes tomatoes taste even more tomato-y. Use flakey salt for a crunchy texture and even more flavor.<\/p>\n

2. Get Creative with Your Base <\/strong><\/p>\n

Big heirloom tomatoes? Love \u2018em. Small cherry tomatoes? Those are great too, too. Peaches? Eggplant? Zucchini? The more the merrier! Most of your favorite summer produce will taste great with the Caprese treatment, so don\u2019t be shy.<\/p>\n

3. Bigger Isn\u2019t Always Better <\/strong><\/p>\n

We love the look of big Gotham Greens Basil leaves on a gorgeous Caprese salad, but if you tear the leaves up or thinly slice them, you\u2019ll release even more basil oil and, therefore, basil flavor. Just make sure there’s enough on the plate\u2014 we recommend in about 2-3 basil leaves per serving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
