Holly's Tomatoes

Yesterday, my sister gave me a bag of lovely Brandywine tomatoes that she grew. Not only are they yummy and have that lovely homegrown tomato smell, but I love their character, so today I did a small oil sketch of them.

For my dinner, I chopped the tomatoes up (they are nice and beefy!) and added them to a nice salad of mixed greens with a little grated cheese, mixed olives and garlic-cheese croutons and topped it with my favorite dressing.

Tangy Dressing
In a half pint jar, mix together:
1/2 tsp salt
dash pepper
1/4 c olive oil
1 Tbls chopped fresh parsley or 1 rounded tsp dry parsley
2 Tbls sugar
2 Tbls wine vinegar
dash of Tobasco sauce.

Shake jar well and chill for a couple of hours for best flavor. Shake before drizzling over salad.
