Because summer vegetables are so fresh and the quality is so good you really want to keep your seasoning simple in order to truly enjoy the flavor of each vegetable.

I agree - it's so wrong to over-season produce at its peak. I love eating simply at this time of year. Our tomatoes aren't quite there yet, but when they are, this sounds like a perfect way to enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, our tomatoes don't come in until the end of August, but we get them from Georgia and the Carolinas this time of year which is still a lot closer than California.
DeleteThis is a great dish to use those wonderful fresh summer veggies, it looks delicious. Hope you are having a fantastic day and we are so excited that you shared your post with Full Plate Thursday.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much and Come Back Soon!
