I can't wait till we start enjoying fresh ripe Greek tomatoes from our own little garden.

Cousin Zafiris has lectured me more than once about why Greeks believe slightly underripe is better. And that tomato oil left in the bowl? One of the best parts of this salad!

This is one salad where I do chase every last drop of dressing with a piece of bread. I don't tend to do that with a vinaigrette, but tomato-flavored oil is good!

I'm aware that in any culture some things will vary from family to family, so I'm never totally sure if I'm running into a Mama/Zoe preference versus a Greek one. It sounds like this slightly underripe tomato preference is generally Greek. I'm like you, I want my tomatoes just a little riper when I can get them that way. That’s interesting, Laurie.
