Hello Friends~ ~ ~Do you love tomatoes? We do and all the roadside stands are
bursting with fruit and vegetables right now.
This plate was part of dinner. The meatless main course was
Corn On The Cob. For me it's not a side dish.
This lovely bowl of red beauties are my heirloom tomatoes from last years garden.
Unfortunately this year we do not have a garden
but we do have the roadside stands.
More bounty from last years garden.
Thank goodness I did up all these pickled beets.
We have enjoyed them all winter and it's time to
begin again for the coming fall and winter.
Have you ever made Tomato and Bread Salad?
We love it and here is how I make it.
First I heat a large fry pan with olive oil
and a few minced cloves of garlic. Add to this
about 3-4 cups of french bread cubes and toss
till golden brown.
Cube tomatoes in large chunks.
Slice a sweet onion into thin rings.
Add small mozzarella balls or grated cheese.
Fresh Basil leaves
Toss with your favorite oil and vinegar dressing.
Only make enough salad for your meal.
It does not keep well. Serve immediately.
I sometimes serve this on a bed of Fresh Basil
and mixed spring greens.
This was the main course for tonights dinner.
Fresh Sweet Corn.

Now we are getting to
The GIVEAWAY
The wonderful folks at Girards Dressings
contacted me and asked if I would like to try their dressings.
Of course I said YES.
Shame on me but I had never seen their
dressings in my local stores. Have you?
Well, this most lovely box of 4 dressings arrived tonight
just before dinner.
The packaging was beautiful and I was so excited
that I forgot to take pictures of it.
But here are 3 of the dressings.

I love tomatoes! I had a tomato sandwich for lunch today!
I have never tried Girard's Dressings before but the bottle looks familiar so I may have seen it on my grocery stores shelves.

Hmmmmm. I've never seen that kind of dressing. Will have to look in the supermarket. Maybe it's regional. And I've never heard of champagne dressing. How did it taste? Nice post. The tomato bread salad looks yummy.
I have tried all of the dressings and I love them!!! Yummy!!!! The Chanpagne is my favorite.

Sweet blog you have. I have enjoyed my visit :)

I love the White Balsamic Girard's Dressing. I've used it often and probably many of your readers have as it was originally packed in the Costco Parisian Salad with nuts, cranberries, and feta. Their Caesar is excellent too!
Your tomato bread salad looks fabulous and thanks for being my 150th follower!
I am a new follower and delighted to find you!
I signed up for the newsletter and their blog is very fun!
I haven't tried their dressing but the flavors look delicious and I will check them out.
I'm now a follower and your salad sounds delicious!
I've signed up for their newsletter. The Watermelon, Mint and Feta salad sounds excellent.
I am very, very picky about tomatoes and yours look great! I have never tried Gerard's but I've seen the Champagne dressing before and wanted to try it. Maybe I will now!
I am also following you now .
By the way, I would love to know how you make your iced coffee. I have tried many times with no success!

Your photos are really wonderful. Both the corn and tomatoes look wonderful. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
Hi Ahrisha - I've seen Girard's Dressings in the market but have never tried them. Thanks for the recommendation. I can't wait for our local tomatoes to be ready. They are late this year because we had a very cool spring.
Hi Ahrisha,
I'm with you when it comes to fresh corn on the cob. I could make a meal of it this time of year. A slice or two of a ripe, heirloom tomato would be perfect accompaniment!
Thank you for the kind comment you left for me. You asked about the hand-painted floral dishes. They're Blue Ridge, made by Southern Potteries in Erwin, TN.
You can see the post I did about them here: http://affordableaccoutrements.blogspot.com/2010/06/decoration-day-memories.html
Have a great weekend!
Bill

Ahrisha dearest, I LOVE TOMATOES! I can eat tomato sauce on cardboard!!! HEHEEEEEE! Basil as an accompaniment makes summertime a memorable culinary delight. Oh thank you for coming to leave a comment on my blog! Isn't that Shabby Chic little cottage dream so wonderful? Seeing it highlighted my writing goals for my on-line article. Thank you for coming and dream on, reach for the impossible and use what you have to make it happen! Anita
I have not tried Girard's Dressings before. We have so many fresh veggies from our garden, so this would be a wonderful surprise for the family.
I have never tried Girard's dressing, but it sounds is if I should rush to buy some. I love corn on the cob, and putting dressing on the corn sounds very interesting.
I have never tried Girard's dressings, but I think I might have seen them at the grocery store. I love salad, it is so refreshing and good for you, so I will have to look for the dressings to try. I love fresh corn, as you do, and I think I will try the dressing on the corn.

For me also, corn on the cob could be a main course, sugar. I LOVE it just with fresh sliced tomatoes and cucumbers marinated in red wine vinegar and water with lots of salt. Yuuuummmm, I can taste it now. I'll have to wait a bit for our fresh tomatoes to ripen as we got a late start.
Thank you for visiting with me and leaving a sweet comment.
BUT do not include me in the giveaway. Hubs and I are having a garage sale today trying to get rid of all the stuff we've accumulated over 49 years of marriage. Yikes and squeeeeeealllll!!!

Connie
