What goes with Heirloom Tomato?
Heirloom describes a varied group of tomatoes rather than one flavour or texture. Large ribbed fruit, small round fruit and green-ripe cultivars can differ markedly in flesh, seed gel and acidity. Choose ripe tomatoes with intact skins and a little give, then taste each variety. Colour alone cannot tell you whether a green tomato is immature or ripe.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Heirloom Tomato?
Match the dressing to the fruit in front of you. Tart tomatoes welcome creamy cheese or ripe peach, while sweeter, softer fruit can take a sharper dressing and a crisp base. Seeds, browned grains and spices provide contrast without covering the whole surface. Reserve some released juice to season beans or another component, letting the tomatoes influence the entire dish.
