Heirloom tomatoes and peaches are in season, oh my!
I got this recipe from my friend Nancy and it’s so amazing I had to share it with you.I don’t know what to call this dish. What I do know is that it tastes like everything good about summer and it nearly makes me cry. I serve this as a side dish but I think it would also be great on top of chicken or fish. Heck, you could scoop it up with tortilla chips if you felt like it.
The combination is gonna sound weird but I PROMISE this is amazing. Also, do not, under any circumstances use any other tomatoes.
