It’s the perfect summer side dish.
I love a good, simple summer recipe that comes together quickly. And, I love tomatoes so combine the 2 and we’re halfway to the perfect lunch or a light dinner.
These buttermilk tomatoes make the wonderful side to a sandwich, but they really could go with almost anything. They’re great with grilled chicken and some nice bread, but you could also take this recipe and add cooked and rinsed pasta for an effortless pasta salad with no mayo!
